LAS VEGAS – Trevor Brazile just keeps outdoing himself at the 2015 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER.
Brazile earned his 23rd gold buckle in Round 6 two nights ago when he clinched the world all-around title by winning the tie-down roping title with a 6.6-second run.
Tonight, he one-upped himself with a 6.5 to tie the arena record and nearly take the lead in the tie-down roping world standings. He trails brother-in-law Tuf Cooper by just $537, and trails only Caleb Smidt in the WNFR average race.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — July 22, 2013 — It was a better than average day for three contestants at the 117th annual “Daddy of ‘em All” on Monday. Bradley Harter is using momentum he gained over the weekend at rodeos in Nampa, Idaho, and Salinas, Calif., here. The saddle bronc rider took the lead in the first round with an 85-point ride on C5 Rodeo’s Betty Bucks. Harter, from Weatherford, Texas, won nearly $10,000 last week and could add to that significantly here.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – E.J. Roberts may be from Dallas, but he made San Antonio his home this month. Just 275 miles from his house, Roberts beat a stacked field of tie-down ropers to win a buckle from the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, a Wrangler Million Dollar Gold Tour event, presented by Justin Boots.
LAS VEGAS – Winning back-to-back gold buckles is a feat in and of itself.
In this era of ProRodeo, repeating as world champion after earning that title for the very first time is almost unheard of.
LAS VEGAS – A record crowd at the Thomas & Mack Center felt like it was seeing double.

LAS VEGAS – Steer wrestler Ethen Thouvenell and tie-down roper Justin Maass stood atop the world for the final seven months of ProRodeo’s regular season.
