Rained hard on Wednesday…was real deep and sticky for the
finals on Thursday afternoon. Big crowd… big parade… Denver and Cheyenne
TV present. Lots of good bulls at this rodeo. Quite a few of Rhett's calves.

Nice bull ride. Away from his hand and Blaine was
doing that POST and windshield wiper thing that Leffew teaches.

Cory had to pay attention… a very little bull and
a pretty big guy.

Spun flat then goated off. Andrade was packing a
leg like Festus and figuring out how to get to Calgary after a plane
load of bull doggers who like Justin were up at Cody this night
had to leave him behind since the rodeo ran long and he was for
some reason--the last gunner. Justin was up at two other rodeos
besides Calgary tomorrow. Not traded conflicts.

Broke his pelvis at Red Lodge the previous night
and got off on the back side after he nodded. Bennie switched deliveries
to protect him. He got on in order to not only qualify for the average
pay-off but also for the Tour points. Thanks to announcer Hadley
Barrett Luke got a standing O. Bet it was a long ride from Red Lodge.
Hopefully Kelley will be in Dallas next week to get the PRO's to
look at his injury. May require a pin.

Can't recall. Knowing the bull I'd guess that he
got Zack raised-up and turned back away from his hand.

Mousey-colored muley… built like a fireplug and meaner
than a three alarmer. Bennie thinks this could eventually be a bull
of the year but he's pretty mean and green at the moment.

This kid can ride. Best day I've seen this bull have
in a year or so and away from Farrell's hand--with a little rear
and without much kick--pretty tough to get by. Good effort.

Was just back and forth in front of the catch pen…
never would pull the trigger and turnback. I though Beau made an
oustanding ride Wed N. 81 was way to low.

They removed one of the banana horns on this bull
awhile back and he really bucked here. In the gate a 2 points better
than anything in the short go.

Bucked like a cork screw… beat Come out of there
and had him into his hand. Looked like he usually goes that direction
but being young and having a Canuck looking him right in the eye--he
just wouldn't do it. Hooked Come and really got a shot on one of
the bullfighers.

Away from his hand. With so much forward movement--it's
tough to get by him.
