San Angelo Rodeo: Performance 10

The final performance of San Angelo Rodeo that will conclude Round 1 is set. After the dust settles tonight, your Top 12 in the roughstock and Top 12 in the average of the timed events will move on to the Short Go where champions will be crowned.

BAREBACK RIDING

Mason Clements has a rematch that could make big moves on the leaderboard. He has drawn J Bar J’s Night Lizard, a horse that he was 87.5 on in 2021. The NFR bucking horse was out in two other Texas Swing rodeos and Clements could make his out in San Angelo his best one yet of 2023.

STEER WRESTLING

Cameron Morman is currently ranked No. 15 in the PRCA World Standings. It is an average game for Morman going into tonight. He was a 4.8 in Round 1, meaning he needs to be at least a 4.3 to change the leaderboard in his favor.

TEAM ROPING

Chad Masters and Trey Yates got the job done in 4.1 seconds in Round 1 to end up in the money. The duo needs to be faster than 5.7 to get into the Top 12 in the average. Tanner Smith and Patrick Tomlinson were a 4.2 in Round 1 putting them in almost the same scenario.

SADDLE BRONC RIDING

Canada’s Ben Andersen’s matchup is Pete Carr’s Django. Of the four rides put on the horse in the 2023 season, the highest marked ride came in San Angelo earlier in the week with No. 1 saddle bronc rider in the World, Sage Newman, for 84.5 points.

TIE-DOWN ROPING

Kincade Henry’s 9.0 was not enough for Round 1 money but it gives him a chance at the average. We know what the young gun is capable of and an 8.1 is what he needs to be faster than to find his way into the Top 12 and back for the Short Go.

BARREL RACING

Jimmie Smith-Tew got the Round 1 win in San Angelo with a 15.8 second run to cash in over $6,500. Moving on to Round 2 and the pace is set at Shelley Morgan’s 14.12-second run for the lead. All Smith-Tew needs to get into the average is a smooth 14.71-second run but the competition will be tough in this final performance.

BULL RIDING

Louisiana bull rider Dustin Boquet recently returned from injury and his matchup in San Angelo is Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Cool Stylin, the same bull that Ernie Courson rode for 85 points earlier in the rodeo. Up The Ante got the best of Jordan Hansen last night but Josh Frost could make the eight.
