Cole Reiner got the Bracket 1 Round 1 win with 87 points on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Hitman. This horse bucked in the saddle bronc riding at the 2021 National Finals Rodeo and they switched him back to the bareback riding in San Antonio and it paid off for Reiner.
Winning in San Antonio is something Reiner is accustomed to as he has won the first round of his bracket every time he has been in San Antonio.
“The ride was fun but I love being in San Antonio… Just walking in from the locker room, walking out to this, it gives you the chills every time and it’s what we live for,” Reiner said.
Seth Hardwick ended up second with 85 points, Caleb Bennett was third with 82 and Kody Lamb was fourth with 81.5 points.
