Calgary Stampede Memories: Davey Shields Jr. Matches Up with Graded Coconut

In 2005 one of the most memorable bareback rides in Calgary Stampede history happened when Davey Shields Jr. was matched up against World Champion stallion Grated Coconut in the $50,000 showdown.

The eight-second ride resulted in a 95-point ride, a record that still stands to this day. It would go down as Shields’ second championship at the Calgary Stampede.
