DENVER, (Jan. 25, 2015) — It’s been over 10 years since Bobby Mote won the bareback riding title at the National Western Stock Show, but judging by the way he rode here on Sunday, the veteran competitor can still ride any horse on the circuit and do it well.

Mote won the final round with a whopping 89-point score on C5 Rodeo’s horse named Virgil in front of a near capacity crowd in the Denver Coliseum. He came from behind to win the championship and $8,062. He placed deep in the second round and qualified for the U.S. Bank Championship Finals in a tie for eighth place. His total of 249 points was two points ahead of the men in second place, Tim O’Connel from Zwingle, Iowa and Steven Dent from Mullen, Neb.

LAS VEGAS – Team ropers split the world championship. The outcome simply wasn’t the one that appeared most likely. The possibility of a header from one team winning the world championship with a heeler from another partnership became more and more real as the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo wore on, but in a final-round stunner, heeler Jade Corkill came from behind to capture his first gold buckle along with Chad Masters, who won a world championship for the second time.

1. At last! Mote adds Pendleton to career resumé

PENDLETON, Ore. – Bobby Mote said it was the most fun he’s ever had on a victory lap and his trip around Pendleton Round-Up Arena was “probably the longest one I’ve ever taken.” Fair enough. This one was long overdue.

Since he first climbed on the back of a bareback horse more than 20 years ago in Oregon ranch country, Mote has dreamed of taking that lap around the grassy field. He’d been close more than once, but he had never won his home-state’s biggest rodeo, not once in his 17 seasons as a professional.

“I’d been close before, losing by a point or having a horse not perform in the final,” Mote said. “It just lets the air out of you. I’ve wanted to win this rodeo since I started.”

A pair of Sankey Rodeo horses saw to it that Mote made it to the victory ceremony this time. He rode Parlor Game for 84 points to win the first round and Thunder Monkey for 85 in the Sept. 15 finals to tie traveling partner Steven Dent for second place and claim the two-head average.
