A proven force on the WPCA Pro Tour, Rae delivered another strong season in 2025, qualifying for the Medicine Hat Stampede Championship Final, posting five top-ten overall finishes, and recording 24 top-ten runs, including two day-money runs and nine additional top-five finishes.
Over his career, Rae has won 12 major WPCA show championships, captured the 2015 GMC Sierra Cup Series title, and earned the 2002 WPCA Showmanship Award. He has had six horses named to the WPCA Equine Outfit of Excellence and two to the Calgary Stampede’s Equine Athlete of Excellence.
In 2014, Rae reached the Rangeland Derby Championship Final, marking just the second time three generations of his family—alongside his father Bert and grandfather Ray—qualified for Calgary’s winner-take-all final.
A third-generation driver and cousin to Chanse Vigen, Rae has four children—Cora Lynn, Ava Mae, Hadley, and Kix—and one grandchild. He works for Bar L-5 Racing and lives in Strathmore, Alberta.
