PRCA Weekly Press Release-Oct. 22, 2012

Harris parlays big score in early round to Ram Prairie Circuit title

DUNCAN, Okla. – Bradley Harris won the bull riding title at the Ram Prairie Circuit Finals on Thursday night; he just didn’t know it until Saturday.

Harris, of Udall, Kan., scored 90 points on Silver Creek Rodeo’s Rising Sun to win the first round of this year’s championship event. It was the highest-scored ride of the three-day event, and it also secured the first circuit championship of Harris’ young career. There were only four qualified rides in this year’s finale, and Harris had two of them to win the average title and secure his qualification to the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo, set for next spring in Oklahoma City.

“It means everything,” said Harris, who rode Frontier Rodeo’s Hideout for 73 points on Saturday night to finish the weekend at the Stephens County Fair and Expo Center. “The end of my season didn’t go very good; I didn’t win as much money as I wanted, so I kind of reset my goals to come to the finals and win it since I wasn’t going to win enough money to win the year-end.

“I just kept my hand shut, and it paid off.”

Yes, it did. In addition to qualifying for the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo, Harris earned $4,080 in Duncan. He’ll join Guthrie Murray of Miami, Okla., who won the year-end title by just $164 over veteran Corey Navarre of Weatherford, Okla.

While Harris secured his championship early, saddle bronc rider Jesse James Kirby of Dodge City, Kan., waited until his last horse to clinch the year-end title. Kirby earned his third Prairie Circuit championship by winning the third go-round Saturday night, scoring an 83-point ride on Mo Betta Rodeo’s Shasta. That $1,174 allowed the Kansas cowboy to edge Bobby Griswold of Geary, Okla., by $1,064.

“I rodeoed throughout the year going to circuit rodeos, but yet I was going after the NFR,” Kirby said of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, the sport’s grand finale. “I only went to 19 rodeos in the circuit, compared to everybody that went to 28-30 rodeos this year. My goal was to make the NFR, but I had another goal – to win the Prairie Circuit.

“I’m tickled to death; it means a lot.”

Hardy Braden of Welch, Okla., and Cody Hamm of Minneapolis, Kan., shared the bronc riding average title, scoring 225 points on three rides.

Other winners at Duncan were all-around cowboy Ryan Jarrett ($2,201, team roping and tie-down roping), bareback rider Jared Keylon (247 points on three head), steer wrestler Stockton Graves (14.4 seconds on three head), team ropers Destry Graham and Jimmy Thomas (20.8 seconds on three head), saddle bronc riders Hardy Braden and Cody Hamm (225 points each on three head), tie-down roper Bryson Sechrist (29.7 seconds on three head), steer roper Chet Herren (39.8 seconds on three head) and barrel racer P.J. Burger (50.66 seconds on three runs).

 

2. Branquinho bulldogs eighth title at Ram California Circuit Finals

LANCASTER, Calif. – For Luke Branquinho, eight is great. The Los Alamos, Calif., steer wrestler won his eighth year-end circuit title by finishing off another dominant season at the Ram California Circuit Finals.

Branquinho – who also won the average with a time of 14.1 seconds on three head – collected more buckles for his already-crowded trophy case.

“Any time you can win a buckle it’s special, whether it’s a small rodeo, circuit rodeo, circuit championship or world championship,” he said. “There are a lot of good cowboys out here in this circuit; what helped me win the title again was winning money at the bigger rodeos in California.”

Branquinho won titles at Redding, San Francisco, San Bernardino and Ramona, Calif., during the 2012 season.

He says that having the Ram California Circuit Finals before the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is a nice tune-up.

“We used to have it in November and then they moved it to January one time, but I think having it toward the end of October is about right,” Branquinho said. “There isn’t a lot going on this time of year so it’s really perfect and allows us to compete at a big event.”

He plans to go to San Francisco to defend his title from last October, and then call it quits until Dec. 6 in Las Vegas.

“It’s always good to win some extra money before the NFR, but it’s so far off that there really isn’t any way to carry momentum from the circuit finals,” he said. “But as I’m preparing for Las Vegas it is nice to have another circuit title.”

Other winners at the $97,129 rodeo were all-around cowboy Blake Hirdes ($3,412, team roping and tie-down roping), bareback rider Tyson Thompson (240 points on three head), team ropers Marcus Battaglia and Kyle Lockett (21.1 seconds on three head), saddle bronc rider Joaquin Real (235 points on three head), tie-down roper Ryle Smith (30.2 seconds on three head), barrel racer Brianna Trepanier (48.33 seconds on three runs) and bull rider Bryce Brown (150 points on two head).

 

3. PRCA Top Bucking Stock announced

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The PRCA Top Bucking Stock has been announced, rewarding the best bull and pair of bucking horses for the 2012 season.

For the second consecutive year, 4L & Diamond S Rodeo stands atop the bull riding world.

A year after Palm Springs took home the honors as the best bull in the PRCA, Cat Ballou is the top bull of 2012.

“We pride ourselves on trying to bring the very best stock we can to the PRCA rodeos each year,” 4L & Diamond S pen supervisor Scott Pickens said. “Cat Ballou fits into the old-school type of bull that used to be in those famous NFR eliminator pens; he is just so strong.”

In the 16 times that bull riders mounted Cat Ballou in 2012, only one rider was able to ride for the full eight seconds.

Corey Rickard managed a 93-point ride on the beast at the Cave Creek (Ariz.) Fiesta Days Rodeo in March. The only other qualified ride in the last two years – or 34 attempts – was when Bobby Welsh rode for 89 points at Laughlin, Nev., in April 2011.

The 2011 Bareback Horse of the Year, Full Baggage, was nudged into second place in 2012 by Carr Pro Rodeo’s Deuces Night.

The cowboys who rode the 7-year-old mare averaged almost 86 points per ride, making her a dream draw for any bareback rider.

“Deuces Night is just an exceptional young mare and I knew from the time that she was about three years old that she was going to be special,” stock contractor Pete Carr said. “We didn’t think things were going to come together so quickly for her, but she’s been pretty outstanding the last year-and-a-half.”

In the saddle bronc voting, Sutton Rodeos’ Chuckulator beat the 2009 winner, Flying 5 Rodeo’s Spring Planting, for top honors.

The 8-year-old Chuckulator has put together an impressive resume in a short amount of time and finally is getting his due.

“He’s not a real old horse and he made the top 10 vote the last two years at the NFR,” stock contractor Steve Sutton said. “He’s just kept getting better all the time, and then this year we ventured out to a few more places that had short gos and he drew good cowboys and they all did well on him.”

The awards were voted on by the top 20 cowboys in the world standings in each event as of Sept. 18, 2012.

 

4. Asay stays sharp at NILE ProRodeo

BILLINGS, Mont. – With the end of the 2012 regular season coming two months before the start of the 2012 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, a lot of cowboys in the top 15 in the world standings have a decision to make.

That decision is whether or not to keep rodeoing and start off the 2013 campaign, or to rest up and stay home until it’s go time in Las Vegas. Kanin Asay fits somewhere in between.

kanin_asay.jpg

The 26-year-old finished fourth in the 2012 bull riding world standings, but still made time to win the NILE ProRodeo in Billings, Mont., over the weekend with an 87-point ride on Burch Rodeo’s No. 821.

“I’m not going too hard between now and the NFR, but Billings was only an hour-and-a-half drive from my house in Wyoming and it was easy to get to, so I went,” Asay said. “Plus I knew there would be some great bulls up there with the stock contractors that were there, and the bulls were really good.”

Asay had been off since Omaha, Neb., and said that getting in a quality ride like the one in Billings was just what the doctor ordered to keep him heading in the right direction.

He plans on riding at the Winnie, Texas, Xtreme Bulls event on Oct. 31 before shutting it down until the NFR.

“You always want to stay sharp, but for me riding horses and working out is better preparation for the Finals than going and getting on a bunch of bulls,” he said.

Other winners at the $80,869 rodeo were all-around cowboy Jason Schaffer ($2,394, steer wrestling and tie-down roping), bareback rider Chase Erickson (84 points), steer wrestler Ty Erickson (3.8 seconds), team ropers Brady Tryan and Jhett Johnson (4.3 seconds), saddle bronc rider Chuck Schmidt (88 points), tie-down roper J.D. Kibbe (8.6 seconds) and barrel racers Fallon Taylor and Lee Ann Rust (14.34 seconds each).
