Championship Bull Riding’s Ninth Stop on the Mahindra Road to Cheyenne Tour

  
Las Vegas, Nevada, – March 7, 2015 – It is hard to refer to Brennon Eldred as a rookie bull rider in Championship Bull Riding. Beating the odds of outscoring four World Champions, the twenty year old cowboy from Sulphur, Oklahoma, riding in his first year with CBR proved why. Eldred, the only cowboy to ride three bulls, thrilled the standing room only crowd at the South Point Hotel Arena for the Tuff Hedeman Vegas Shootout presented by Boot Barn & Discount Tire. With his outstanding performance on the ninth stop of the Mahindra Road To Cheyenne Tour, Eldred not only stepped up to the number two ranking in the Championship Bull Riding (CBR) World Standings, but more importantly to him, he moved several steps closer to his dream of winning a gold buckle in Cheyenne.
