2001 Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo
Pocatello, ID
First
Go Round Draw:
Notes: They
draw the second go round (Fri N and Sat Mat performances) Thursday night.
We should have it posted by midday Friday along with the results. Editors
note: This might not happen, since the editor will likely be gone
to Montgomery on Friday...If it gets here by late Thursday night / Friday
morning, I'll have time to get it posted.
We try to get the
buckiest and most difficult bulls bucked the first two performances so
we can bring them back in the semi finals or finals on Saturday Night.
We can’t always do it because they have limited pen space at the arena…
and they have to run them off a truck. Therefore we have to limit the
number of contractors out each performance and try to keep the herds together.
First Performance:
Wednesday Night
- Chris
Novack 121 Tinker Bell Western
- Big
bull that was too nice late in the year but bucked good at Tucson.
Bucked off Jim Leatherberry in the long round and Josh O’Byrne was
89 in the finals. Really good draw.
- Philip
Elkins 777 River Dance Big Bend
- The
Big Red that looked like a runaway bus with Cody Hancock in the
10th round at the
NFR.
- Thor
Hoefer CT2 Skeeter Western
- Thor
has seen this bull so often that they probably car pooled to Pocatello.
Just spins but was marked a 23 20+ bucking off Josh Johnson at Tucson.
- Jeff
Boudreau 76 Dirty Dancer Western
- The
wild high leaping brindle that wows the crowd. The judges like
him and he likes the field house. The Russels have stayed home
from the winter run and bypassed the big PBR events so their bulls
should be plenty fresh.
- Fred
Boettcher K66 Rapid Fire Big Bend
- Former
bucking bull of the year and he bucks his rankest here. Doesn’t
have room to stay hooked so Fred’ll have to watch when he leaves
it. This is the red bull that Philip Elkins rode in the 10th
round at the NFR.
- Vince
Stanton 263 Try Some Western
- The
Mike Corey partnership bull that bucked off Garth Oldfield and Colby
Yates at Tucson. Was on the
PBR trail last fall. Vince hasn’t bucked off many this year.
- Blue
Stone 201 Downtown Western
- A
tricky little creep (the bull) … a handful if he goes away from
your hand but do-able into it.
- Jim
Leatherberry 906 Young Gun Pinz
- The
guy who was a zillion points on Rapid Fire at Spokane
has drawn the by FAR the rankest bull at the NFR his first trip
there. Came back and bucked good in the 10th round with
Lee Akin. Think the bull won 2nd/ best bull at the
NFR. - Really
cool bull.
- John
Pinnt K78 Unforgiven Al Gore Big Bend
- This
was the best bull at the NFR but the contractors Florida balloted
him because Lee Akin got a reride on him because he didn’t nod.
Little guy…. BIG bull that BUCKS.
- Jason
Brumley K417 After Shock Big Bend
- Should
be called after THOUGHT. A young red that didn’t buck at the NFR
because he NEEDS a bullfighter to start him (which they can do at
the DNCFR). A good one if they get him turned back. Was a 22
both trips at the Cow Palace.
- Cody
Hancock 174 Cowboy Up Pinz
- This
bull should’ve gone to the NFR. Probably the best draw in the
pen but he hasn’t had much exposure.
- John
Constantinople 601 El Smacko Big Bend
- Johnny
C has a good yellow horned bull. Thinking Kagan Sirett rode him
in a spinner pen at the NFR. Hancock was 85 on him last year at
the DNCFR. Better bull than
just a spinner.
Second Performance:
Thursday Night
- Judd
Paul Leffew C699 Chili Dog Beard
- Bucked
off Chad Bigler and Kagan Sirett at Yakima. Came from Lloyd Ketchum…
he’s young… he’s one of those Moss Brain reds… and he’ll hook the
boogers right out of your nose.
- Cory
Check 381 Bootlegger Kesler
- The
black Brahmer cross that bucked so well in Pocatello last year.
A spinner with gas but he flattens out and changes gears.
- Sye
Jones 007 Gyro Beard
- Ugliest
bull in rodeo… a Longhorn /warf rat cross. Very difficult to get
the whistle on but he didn’t buck at Yakima.
Jerked
Robey Condra down twice in the 10th
round at the NFR. Not much middle on him –seldom ridden.
- Felipe
Aragon 101 Border Patrol Flying 5
- 2000
Bull of the Year. The little bull with the biggest heart.
Trick is to get around the corner. Potter made a great ride on
him at last year’s DNCFR and
Hancock started off his championship run with a go round win on
him at the NFR.
- Matthew
Weber X10 Midnight Oil Beard
- The
Moss Brain secret agents think this is Beard’s best bull. Got
ridden a couple of times late in the year and got to watch the NFR
on Direct TV. Think Vince was 80 on him in the short go at Pendleton.
- Beau
Hill 666 Shiver N Shake Kesler
- Beau
has seen this bull some. Leatherberry almost rode him at their
circuit finals. A little GOOSEY in the chutes but can be outstanding.
Kagan was in the 90’s on him at Spokane last fall.
- Rex
Malolo 44 Magic Rafter
H (Hall)
- Can
be the buckingest bull in Dell’s pen… just not real solid his second
trip.
- Mark
Kuhn 69 Fright Train Vold
- Skinner
(Kuhn) might have to bear down or he might have to scrape the bugs
off his teeth. The bull that Harry started hauling full time at
Pueblo. George Gibbs said he was the rankest bull he’d seen in
years. But by the time this youngster got to Kansas City in November—he
was worn out. Someone was in the 70’s on him.
- Rusty
Patrick XOX Hollywood Squares Rafter H (Hall)
- Bull
with a butt bigger than Whoopi’s. Can be a 22+ or a 19….. nothing
in between. Patrick’s been hot.
- Will
Hines 77 Yellow Jacket Flying
5
- The
great former bucking bull of the year. Just real good if you get
around the corner in good shape. Think Condra was 94-96 on him
at the Cow Palace.
- Kevin
Clanton 66 King Kong Rafter H
(Hall)
- Another
bucking bull of the year the KONG looks like he might STOP right
toward the end. Into a guy’s hand he’s spur material. Still… he’s
big …. he’s experienced….and he probably isn’t real happy to be
in Pocatello.
- Richard
Stapleman 311 Why Not Minot Vold
- The
toughest bull in rodeo… in the 6 days a year he isn’t at a rodeo—he’s
drawing atlas for Rand McNally. Richard is one of the best bull
riders in the PRCA—I don’t see this bull bucking him off. Might
win 1-2 if the guys with ranker bulls buck off.
