1. Holiday haul: Wright, Brazile lead big winners during Cowboy Christmas
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Cody Wright did just a little better this year.
Wright, of Milford, Utah, repeated as saddle bronc riding champion at the Greeley (Colo.) Independence Stampede, and earned a ProRodeo-best $24,288 at three rodeos during the past week, known in rodeo as Cowboy Christmas.
Wright, who entered last year’s Wrangler National Finals Rodeo ranked No. 1, only to finish fourth in the final world standings, moved to within $10,000 of event leader Billy Etbauer following last week’s feeding frenzy, which was highlighted by his encore performance in Greeley.
By scoring 170 points on two head, Wright bagged $15,261, the most of any Greeley competitor. Add a share of second place at the St. Paul (Ore.) Rodeo worth $7,524 and a first-place check at the Black Hills Round-Up in Belle Fourche, S.D., and Wright had himself quite a week.
Last year, Wright earned $23,822, winning more than $17,000 in Greeley.
Although Wright was the high-money winner over the period, he was far from the only contestant to earn big bucks. Wright topped the list of 12 cowboys who earned more than $15,000 since the start of Cowboy Christmas on June 25 at the Ponoka (Alberta) Stampede.
Trevor Brazile, the reigning and five-time World Champion All-Around Cowboy, finished a close second, winning $23,813 in tie-down roping and team roping. Brazile, of Decatur, Texas, won the tie-down roping title at the St. Paul (Ore.) Rodeo, bagging $9,467 after roping and tying two calves in 16.7 seconds. He also claimed checks at the World’s Oldest Rodeo in Prescott, Ariz.; the Livingston (Mont.) Round-Up; and the Molalla (Ore.) Buckeroo.
After Wright and Brazile, three Colorado cowboys – bareback riders Tim Shirley of Conifer and Royce Ford of Briggsdale along with steer wrestler Casey McMillen of Craig – took their places among the top Cowboy Christmas performers.
Shirley continues to make a push for his first Wrangler NFR by earning $21,052 and vaulting into the top 10 in the Crusher Rentals PRCA World Standings. He won the two-head average title in Ponoka, good for $10,479, and claimed additional earnings in St. Paul, Livingston and Belle Fourche.
Ford earned $18,396 during the past week, highlighted by a first-place showing in St. Paul ($10,452) and an additional $6,685 in Greeley.
McMillen earned the most among steer wrestlers with $17,701, including $9,810 in Greeley, where he finished a close second to Jake Rinehart of Highmore, S.D.
The tandem of Nick Sartain and Rhen Richard earned $14,475, the most of any team ropers. Sartain, of Pilot Point, Texas, and Richard, of Roosevelt, Utah, had their top payday at the Cody (Wyo.) Stampede, where their second-place finish gave them $6,584 each. They later earned $5,158 each by winning the title in Livingston.
Cory McFadden, a 1999 NFR qualifier, led bull riders during Cowboy Christmas by earning $17,075, thanks in large part to victories in Prescott, Ariz., and the Fourth of July Youth Celebration and PRCA Rodeo in Window Rock, Ariz.
2. Hall of Fame prepares to welcome new class
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – It’s a special weekend for everyone involved, a one-of-a-kind affair that draws hundreds of rodeo fans, contestants and industry leaders to Colorado Springs, Colo., each July. The annual ProRodeo Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, set for 10 a.m. MT on July 12 in the garden area, pays tribute to the best of the best in the sport of ProRodeo, and this year will be no different. Nine people, one talented horse and 16 rodeo committees will take their places alongside the greatest names the sport has ever known and will be forever enshrined in the elite Hall.
This year’s inductees are: all-around cowboy Paul Tierney of Oral, S.D.; team roper Bobby Hurley of Clarksville, Ark.; late steer roper Shaun Burchett of Pryor, Okla.; saddle bronc rider Tom Reeves of Ranger, Texas; the late Feek Tooke (stock contractor); Trails End (rodeo livestock); specialty act performers Leon and Vicki Adams (contract personnel); Duane Howard (rodeo notable); and the late Buddy Lytle (lifetime achievement). The 16 rodeo committees being inducted are: the Buffalo Bill Rodeo (North Platte, Neb.); Calgary (Alberta) Stampede; California Rodeo Salinas; Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days; the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo (Pocatello, Idaho); Grand National Rodeo, Horse and Stock Show (San Francisco); Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo; La Fiesta de los Vaqueros (Tucson, Ariz.); National Western Stock Show and Rodeo (Denver); Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up; Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo (Colorado Springs, Colo.); Reno (Nev.) Rodeo; San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo; Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show (Fort Worth, Texas); West of the Pecos (Texas) Rodeo; and Prescott (Ariz.) Frontier Days – the World’s Oldest Rodeo.
With this year’s class, the total number of inductees will grow to 206 people, 25 animals and 16 rodeo committees. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, making this year’s Induction Ceremony even more special. ProRodeo Hall of Fame announcer Hadley Barrett will serve as the event’s emcee.
The induction ceremony is just one of a number of events during the Hall of Fame weekend, as the Hall of Fame organizers have set up a solid lineup for the celebration. The annual ProRodeo Hall of Fame Golf Tournament and Fundraiser will be held at the prestigious Broadmoor resort on July 11. Later that night, a Cowboy Dinner for inductees and their families will take place at the Hall of Fame.
Induction into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame is considered the highest accolade in the sport. While more than 100 nominations are submitted annually, only a small percentage is selected to join this elite group.
More than 50,000 visitors annually visit the 30,000 square-foot facility that is located adjacent to the national headquarters of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and on a 20-acre site in Colorado Springs.
3. Tour makes next stop in Vernal
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Wrangler ProRodeo Tour makes a familiar stop this weekend as the 26-city schedule heads into its final month. Cowboys and cowgirls will seek to improve their rankings in the Tour standings at the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo in Vernal, Utah.
Action in Vernal starts July 9 with the first of four evening performances starting at 7:30 p.m. MT. The rodeo offers $12,500 in added money per event ($15,000 in team roping) and features livestock from Powder River Rodeo, Burch Rodeo and D & H Cattle.
The rodeo concludes with the final round on July 12.
Vernal marks the 21st venue on the 2008 Wrangler ProRodeo Tour. At the conclusion of the final Tour stop in Dodge City, Kan., on Aug. 5, the top 35 contestants (35 teams in team roping) in total Tour points and the “Wild Cards,” event champions from the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, presented by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco, will move on to the first Ariat Playoffs event, Aug. 12-16, in Caldwell, Idaho. Fox Sports Network and CBS are scheduled to televise the Playoffs.
4. Rodeo News and Notes
Lanham jumpstarts season in Cody. Zeb Lanham seemingly returned to form last weekend at the Cody, Wyo., stop on the Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour, presented by B&W Trailer Hitches. Lanham, who won the earnings title on the 2006 Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour, rode two bulls for 175.5 points and pocketed $11,139. He jumped seven spots into 20th place in this week’s Crusher Rentals PRCA World Standings.
Lanham, of Sweet, Idaho, clinched his first Tour-stop title with a 91-point ride aboard Burns Rodeo’s Hairy Hump that topped the final-round leaderboard. He earlier scored 84 points on Frontier Rodeo’s Secadian Rhythm in the semifinal round.
Bobby Welsh of Gillette, Wyo., finished a close second, scoring 172.5 points, good for checks worth $10,058.
Clayton Savage of Cheyenne, Wyo., turned in the top score of the semifinal round, a 90-point ride aboard Frontier Rodeo’s Lynch Mob on a re-ride.
Asay injured in St. Paul. Bull rider Kanin Asay returned to his home in Powell, Wyo., on July 7, five days after undergoing emergency surgery at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland to remove a ruptured spleen, suffered during the St. Paul (Ore.) Rodeo.
In addition, doctors also re-attached Asay’s right ear, which was partially torn off after Asay was hooked twice, then stepped on during action in St. Paul’s first performance.
Asay, 22, who made his Wrangler National Finals Rodeo debut last year and finished as runner-up to World Champion Wesley Silcox, is expected to miss the next eight weeks before returning to action.
“To be honest, I don’t remember a lot,” Asay said. “I remember watching the guy who rode before me, then I don’t remember anything until a day-and-a-half later in the hospital. But it all happens for a reason. I’m going to have some time off. But I thank the good Lord that I’m still here.”
