Changes have come on the leaderboard in the timed events while bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding have stayed the same over the last three performances of Rodeo Austin. Performance 6 could bring changes in all events.
BAREBACK RIDING
Trenton Montero has drawn Beutler & Son Rodeo’s Zinger, a horse that he matched up with before at the La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros in 2017. In Tucson, Zinger got the best of Montero but with a five-year gap since then, it is Montero’s game tonight.
