Matt Reeves, Tyler Waguespack and Jacob Talley all stopped the clock at 3.5 seconds to take a victory lap around Globe Life Field in Round Nine.
“I was very pleased with my run,” Waguespack said. “The steer I had they had had some success on this week already. I got a great start riding Scooter, put my feet on the ground in a great spot and was able to finish.”

TALLEY’S RUN
WAGUESPACK’S RUN
For Reeves, his run keeps him No. 1 in the world and alive in the World Title race despite being 10th in the average.
It was much-needed after he missed his steer in a crucial Round Eight run.
“Rodeo is a hard game, and the ability to stay out here and rodeo are the guys that can handle the highs and the lows you can’t get too, too high and you can’t get low,” Reeves said. “I like it even keel my philosophy is always win something every week and that’s not been the way it’s been at the NFR or year for me.”
Going into Round 10, he leads Stetson Jorgensen, the average leader and No. 2 bulldogger in the world, by about $11,000.
