However, catching Kimzey may prove to be just too much distant as Radley is still over $123,000 behind him in the projected world standings. He’s moved to #1 in the projected average and #2 in the world behind future hall of famer Sage Kimzey. Koby Radley had 90.5 point ride to continue with his great NFR. This means that Trevor Kastner and Josh Frost are the two guys left who haven’t covered a bull this NFR which is a definite surprise! Bull Ridingĭaylong Swearingen got his first ride of the NFR and he went ahead and won the whole thing with a 92 point ride on War Cry from Big Stone Rodeo Inc. Consistency is key an the projected average shows that as Emily Miller, Nellie Miller, Conrado-Saebens, Hailey Kinsel, and then Moore. Tuf Cooper picked up $11,000 this round which puts him into a projected first place in the all around world title race! Barrel Racingĭona Kay Rule comes in with her second round win in the first half of the NFR with a 13.56 second run.Īmberleigh Moore was second, followed closely by Ivy Conrado-Saebens. This has put him in contention for the top gun award although that seems unlikely with the hot hand of Emily Miller’s consistency in the barrel racing. Shane Hanchey went back to the pay window, this time for round 5. Tyler Harris won the round in 7.4 seconds in what commentator Joe Beaver called a “money stumble.” Whatever you want to call it, Harris took advantage and pulled a FAST time! Officially, everyone has covered in the saddle bronc. Thurston is slowly chipping away at the world standings lead so he’ll be interesting to watch over the next five rounds. Rusty, Spencer and Ryder Wright were all in the money today, as was Canadian Zeke Thurston. Jake Watson’s 92 point ride on Lunatic From Hell of Burch Rodeo was not only good enough for the round win, but he was also one point off the arena record! Round 5 claimed a lot of team roping teams that had still been alive in the average such as Driggers/Nogueira, Sherwood/Koch, and Cooper/Anderson. Proctor and Motes tied for second with Smith and Corkill. It was a repeat for Round 5 Chad Masters and Travis Graves won the round with a 4.2 second. In fact, Cure has picked up money in the last three rounds straight! Team Roping Former World Champions Tyler Waguespack and Hunter Cure are still seeing that money roll in. While Ty Erickson came in leading the standings, he’s unfortunately had to watch as that lead has slipped away. The Kyle Irwin everyone was hoping would show up did in Round 5 with a 3.7 second run to win first. Especially when you consider that he is only two points behind in the average right now. Unfortunately, while he made the ride, he only scored an 84 which was at no fault of his own but it was pretty heartbreaking. The horse gathered itself nicely which is why he still scored an 86 but O’Connell took the gamble on the reride due to the high scores on the leaderboard.
Tim O’Connell got an 86 point ride but ended up with a reride due to a fall to the knees by his horse, Uncapped from Pickett Pro Rodeo. Bigelow was half a point off the arena record, one he set last year in the same round! This ride took Bigelow to first in the average and #1 in the projected world standings. BarebackĪfter watching Tilden Hooper spur down a 92 point ride, it seemed that the Round 5 win was his in the bag but we thought too soon as the cowboy who entered the NFR #1 in the event, Clayton Bigelow, scored a 92.5 point ride on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Scarlett Belle. Hopefully that is just heat packs and ice bags, nothing TOO serious! We do know that bronc rider Bradley Harter will be out for the remainder of the NFR due to a hamstring injury. Justin Sports Medicine’s Doctor Tandy announced before the opening ceremonies that 31 of the 124 contestants are being tended to do by the sports medicine team.
The second is in the WPRA’s barrel racing as there is a 5 second penalty for every barrel that is knocked if all three are knocked down it’s a 15 second penalty. There is a 10 second penalty if you break the barrier and a 5 second penalty if the heeler only catches one foot.
The first is in the PRCA in the team roping event. The answer was fifteen seconds in two different ways.
