2022 World Champion Caleb Smidt impressed in the opening round of the Cinch Playoffs in Puyallup going 8 seconds flat to get the round win.
Smidt will be thanking fellow former World Champion Shane Hanchey for the win as Hanchey let Smidt ride his horse in Puyallup.
“He is super easy. I’ve been watching him all year and he’s been winning money all year on him.”
Smidt is currently No. 12 in the PRCA World Standings but is just $4,000 ahead of the No. 15 spot. A win in Puyallup would all but secure his spot at another NFR.
