Indian Relay Racing Soars to New Heights

Indian relay races are exploding in popularity, with Grande Prairie hosting a major qualifier for the Calgary Stampede, drawing top teams from across North America. Legendary announcer Gayle Skunk Cap, who’s called races for 40 years, recalls how the sport grew from $5,000 purses to over $100,000—and now features elite riders from seven states and two Canadian provinces.
