Round Two brought with it history making money for one cowboy and ties for others to keep them in the money. Up next, Round Three to bring us more big sores and big paydays.
Bareback rider Tilden Hooper has climbed to No. 5 in the World and he is tied at No.1 in the average with Jess Pope who is No. 1 in the World. Tonight, Hooper is matched up with Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s San Angelo Sam and Pope will be on Stace Smith Pro Rodeo’s Mr. Harry who has an average stock score of 42 points. The battle is on in the bareback riding.
After a no score in Round Two, Layton Green will make his return in Round Three aboard the one and only Bartender of Dakota Rodeo while No. 1 saddle bronc rider in the World, Sage Newman is matched up with Bar T Rodeo’s Hell Boy who’s highest marked ride in 2022 came with Lefty Holman to be 89 points. With Newman dominating the field this year, they will be one to watch.
In the bull riding, No. 2 bull rider in the World, Josh Frost, drew Frontier Rodeo’s Gladiator’s Hammer. The bull has three qualified rides from 2022 and one of those rides was 92 points by Braden Richardson. Australian Ky Hamilton had a successful Round Two and he will try to do it again in Round Three on Honeycutt Rodeo’s Ted who has just two qualified rides this season.
Here is a look at the rest of Round Three’ draw.
