Half of the field for both the Finals and the Wildcard are set in San Antonio and after tonights Semifinals2, we will know the rest.

Semifinal 1 brought a new arena record in the breakaway roping courtesy of Shai Schaefer and a Go-Round win in the team roping by over half a second for Andrew Ward and Tanner Braden.

Meanwhile on the roughstock side of things, Lefty Holman got one step closer to finishing the job with his 89-point ride.

The Second Semifinal is here, and you can watch it on The Cowboy Channel and Cowboy Channel+ beginning at 8 PM ET.

BAREBACK RIDING

Rocker Steiner is looking for his second Texas Swing win of the season and his matchup tonight is J Bar J’s Straight Ringer. Keenan Hayes went 90 on this horse at the National Finals Rodeo just a few short months ago and more recently, Cole Reiner covered the horse for 87 points in Fort Worth.

STEER WRESTLING

Tristan Martin threw the fastest time of the rodeo when he stopped the clock at 3.3 seconds in his bracket. He is back to do it again but his competition is tough. That includes Kyle Irwin who also picked up two go-round wins in his bracket and finished third in his Semifinal last year.
