Perf
3 Saturday Night Finals
(Wrangler Tour Round)-
Bulls
- Jockeys (delivery)
73
Rampage II (HMA) - Lee Akin (L)
Big black had
his day and Lee just had a better one. Lee stuck it all over Auger's big
dog, and never looked out of shape. He might've been a few more than 86,
but he was one of the first guys out in the final round and with a lot
of good ones left to buck, they weren't slinging points. Lee's really
elevated his game. Great guy.
191
Gunpowder (HMA) - Josh O'Byrne (L)
This was a new
black bull that's supposed to really buck, and he did for about 2 seconds,
and when Josh was still there, he sold out and skittered off like a crazed
squirrel. Yuck-O. Josh worked hard here, and sure didn't benefit from
the luck of the draw in either round. Rode two hard to ride suckers.
11
Jigger (HMA) - Jason McClain (R)
Little red bull
can have a bad day now and then, but he sure had a good one here. Turned
back and stayed hooked. Pretty catty. Jason was 83 and won 2nd in this
round. They switched deliveries -- he's usually a left D. Too many lefts
in the final round pen.
490
Smart Aleck (HMA) - Josh Carter (R)
Would have liked
to have had L72 Mr Pootie of Spurs in the finals rather than this bull.
They did a delivery switch on him too. He turned back and spun, but wasn't
as good as I've seen him before. A little tricky looking, but not spectacular.
Threw Josh off.
G1
Gas Hog (HMA) - Greg Potter (R)
Potter made a pretty impressive ride... don't know how he stayed off the
Hog's head. Bull would make a couple of rounds and then try a chili whop
move and reverse it. I think he did that about three times, and I'm sure
it wasn't easy to get by for 81 pts.
166
Strawberry Wine (HMA) - Jesse Bail (L)
Bull had his
normal trip -- which is to say he looked like a balloon you let the air
out of. Jesse, being a no nonsense kind of guy, just rode him anyway.
Jesse had drawn 74 Challenger, but he came up cripped, and he ended up
with Strawberry. Lots of difficulty difference there. Jesse picked up
3rd in the round with 82...placed in the average...won the bronc riding...
busy guy.
420
Gusto (HMA) - Jake Baker (R)
Black horned
bull -- usually a left delivery. The old delivery switch didn't hurt him
much... he bucked good. Got Jake on the ground.
231
Mad Max (Smith's) - Brian Curtis (R)
I couldn't see what this one did. I know he bucked Brian off, and looked
like he got walked on a bit. Don't know what happened.
VC8
Copenhagen Hurricane (Smith's) - Michael Riggs Jr (L)
I haven't seen this bull in person very often. Boy he was one bucking
dude here. No tricks -- he just FIRED.
L51
Cold Cold Heart (Silver Spurs) - Lamar Duren (L)
Cold heart maybe,
but hot blooded for sure. They had this bull penned right by the walk
in door at the back of the coliseum, and it's just fortunate he didn't
eat any small children that ventured too close to the fence. Looks a lot
like G21 Durango of Neal Gay's, but is younger and has a lot more pent
up anger and hatred for humans. Might be G21's evil twin. They didn't
load him in the bucking chute as much as they captured him.
Like catching a rabid moose in a box trap. Layed and sulled in the box,
and bellered the whole time... hard to get out on. Lamar took him squatting,
and holy smokes did he leave there. Leaped and dropped... Big time E.
If he keeps that up for 8 seconds, he oughta have some medals pinned on
him. Big brindle nightmare of a bull.
K9
Copenhagen K-Nine (Silver Spurs) - Wayne White (L)
A big healthy
hard-bodied black muley that apparently LOVES to spin. Pretty quick out
there about two or three and got it on -- lickety split and bucking. Nervous
in the box... good bull. If he bucks like that every time, he's ready
for the big show.
L6
Helicopter (Silver Spurs) - Zack Brown (L)
A textbook looking
brindle with horns. Bill Harper flanked him... Spurs flank man must've
been on the far side or something. Bull went about 3-4 seconds before
he found his spot, but when he did, he drilled a hole in the ground. Zack
was 79, but he was in the well a good bit of the ride... he wasn't willing
to quit. Probably got his ride docked a little. Looked like a good bull
to draw... he was calmer acting than some of the other Spurs bulls, but
he sure didn't mind mucking Zack out after the whistle... Pure meanness.
Great effort on Zack's part got him 2nd in the average.
