Fort Worth Bracket 2: Recap, Highlights and Payouts

BY BRETT NIERENGARTEN

The second of seven brackets wrapped up at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo on Monday night.

The Bracket 2, Round 2 performance was headlined by wins from bareback rider Cole Reiner, bull rider Creek Young and barrel racer Hailey Kinsel, who won both rounds in the bracket. The top two athletes in each bracket advance to the Semifinals automatically and third place advances to the Wild Card, with a chance to get through to the Semis.

“We love Fort Worth,” Kinsel said. “I just want to be able to enjoy every minute here, I know I won’t always be here, so any chance we get to run down the Fort Worth alley, we’re going to have fun.”

“I love being here in Fort Worth, the energy here, with the announcers and the crowd, there’s nothing like it,” Reiner said.
