Cole Franks has captured his second Dodge City Roundup Championship and he did it on the same horse as he did in 2021, Frontier Rodeo’s Gun Fire. This year, the two matched up for 88 points in the Short Round.
“I kind of saw it coming, talked it into fruition and then it worked out. She had a really good day today, kind of man handled me a little bit, especially right at the end but, you know, every time that horse is by your name you’re excited,” Franks said.
Franks compared this trip to his last trip on the mare and today, the Texas bareback rider said she was a lot harder and all there.
Franks currently sits just outside the Top 15 in the PRCA World Standings at No. 17 and a Dodge City Win has him that much closer and on the bubble of being where he needs to be with less than two months left of the regular season.
