Zero In: Ryder Wright Posts Most 85+ Point Rides, Enters NFR No. 2

Ryder Wright has been one of the most consistent Saddle Bronc Riders since his introduction to the PRCA. 2024 will mark the ninth straight NFR since entering the PRCA.

On the season, Wright earned over $250,000 and is No. 2 in the Saddle Bronc Riding World Standings.

It is easy to see how Ryder earned his way to the No. 2 position. He leads all Saddle Bronc Riders with 47 rides of 85 points or more. Lefty Holman is No. 2 in such rides at 45 and the No. 1 Saddle Bronc Rider, Damian Brennan has 42 rides of 85 or more.

All of those 85-point rides helped Ryder average 83.6 points throughout the season, which is fifth among NFR qualifiers.

Wright is also No. 3 in rodeo wins in the season with 15. Only Statler Wright and Brody Cress won more rodeos.
