After nine rounds of electric rides from bareback, saddle bronc and bull riders the final night of the 2022 National Finals Rodeo has arrived. Tonight, your World Champions will be crowned but no before one more round of some of the best matchups of the year.
No. 2 bareback rider in the world, Leighton Berry, drew Calgary Stampede’s Yippe Kibitz. With two 89-point rides next to her name in the regular season and Berry’s drive and determination that he has in Las Vegas this is one matchup to keep your eye on.
Zeke Thurston sits No. 1 in the aggregate and No. 4 in the World but his matchup tonight could propel him to a third Gold Buckle. Andrews Rodeo’s All or Nothin’ carried Dawson Hay to 87.5 points earlier this week and Brody Cress rode the horse for 88.5 in San Antonio.
Stetson Wright is No. 1 in the aggegate and World as we head into Round Ten of bull riding. He matched up with OLS Tubs Sunny of Macza Pro Rodeo. Josh Frost rode the bull for 88 points in Round Five and Jeff Askey also rode for 88 in Logandale, Nevada.
