The first time BFTS event held in Des Moines Iowa kept fans on the edges of their seats as it was filled with great rides and some terrible wrecks. After the dust had settled the event title went to number one in the standings, Guilherme Marchi.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
In round one Guilherme made a good ride aboard #10 Bucking Bulls’ Bad Brad for 86 points and 13th position in the round. The bull who scored 42.25 was not that impressive as he went around to the left away from Guilherme's hand then jumped out of the spin and faked right and faked left. In round two he rode Chad Berger/Clay Struve's Spiderman for 84.75 and 15th place in the round. The bull only scored 41.50 and like in round one was unimpressive as he took two leaps out then went around to the left with no timing. In the short go Guilherme rode D&H's Bad Yeller for 88.25 and third place in the round. The bull whoa scored 44 was not as good as he should have been for that bull score. He went around to the left away from Guilherme's hand after having taken three leaps out of the chute with belly kicks alternating with cow kicks. I guess I just don't agree with the judges much since Cody Custer has left. Personally I would not have scored that bull over 42, if that. Still it gave Guilherme 259 points on three head and the win. Guilherme had to wait for the last rider before he knew that he was the winner as Adriano Moraes was leading the pack going into the short go and if he rode he would have won the event as all he needed was 82 points to take the lead back. Instead Sam's Town blew out of the chute with Adriano with so much power faking right in a long jump then faking left to throw Adriano off that Adriano’s chaps blew apart. The bull scored a well-deserved 44.50
There were 14 rides in round one with Colby Yates being the first one out on Just A Dream. Colby scored 86.75 and was 11th in the round while the bull, which scored 42.25, went around to the left into Colby's hand and flattened out.
The next four riders (Vince Northrup, Pistol Robinson, Kolt Donaldson and Ned Cross all lost out to the bulls they had drawn. Finally Clayton Foltyn broke that mode as he rode Frosty for 88.25 and a tie for 5/7 in the round. The bull is a good spinner and went around to the right into Clayton's hand
By the time Leah updated us on the injuries there had been 13 riders bucked off and only two qualified rides. Leah let us know that Chris' surgery was put off until Friday and he will be out several weeks.
I don't know what kind of bull score Marcus got but Wiley Petersen got a re-ride option when the bull just faked right along the chutes then reversed left with little action. Unfortunately Wiley's re-ride did not work out well as Fire and Flame faked right and left then pulled Wiley off over his head. That bull scored 42.50.
Zack Brown looked good aboard Splat Cat who went around to the right away from Zack's hand. Zack tied for 5/7 with 88.25 while the bull scored 43.50.
Bells Blue might have bucked Ednei Caminhas off but his bull score was only 39.25 as he loped.
Austin Meier looked good aboard Texas who went around to the left into Austin's hand with good action. Austin scored 88.50 and was 4th in the round while Texas scored 43.
During the event we learned that although Reese Cates made little of his broken finger, the hand surgeon decided that he did need surgery and Reese will be out for a while.
Dustin Hall rode Savage for 86.25 and 12th place in the round as the bull was around to the left away from Dustin's hand and Dustin was out of shape and nearly off to the side as the bull reversed to the right into Dustin's hand. Savage scored 42.75.
On the whole the bull scores were better this week although some of them did seem inflated.
Bryan Richardson looked good aboard Why Not Minot who scored 43 as Bryan scored 87.50 and finished 8th in the round. Bryan stayed out over his rope as the bull went around to the right away from Bryan's hand.
Aaron Pass has it! This 15 year old looking 19 year old reminds me of Chris Shivers. As Bo Alameda went around to the left into Aaron's hand, Aaron remained in perfect position and complete control .I thought the judges were a little stingy when they scored him at 87(10th place) and the bull at 43.Aar on made a textbook ride and it should have been at least an 88. Welcome to the big leagues, Aaron.
Papa Smurf fouled himself at the gate so Mike White got the option of a re-ride. JW Hart made it sound as if Mike purposely fouls some of the bulls by spurring them as they leap out. I guess I will have to watch more closely. Mike drew Three Alarm for the re-ride who went around to the right into Mike's hand then reversed left away while Mike made a good spur ride but there was a judge's review and they got Mike for a slap at 7.75.Mike didn't get the Enterprise bonus of $5000 but the bull's owner Jerry Nelson did.
Kasey Hayes will be out of action because Page 499 yard darted Kasey and although he was able to get up and walk Kasey did fracture C6 and will undergo fusion surgery at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. I knew Kasey had most likely fractured C6 or C5 when I saw the way he was yard darted. It reminded me of the wreck I had seen several years ago here in Nashville when Gilbert Carrillo did the same thing. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery, Kasey.
Adriano Moraes looked great aboard Evil Forces who went around to the left into Adriano's hand in a drifting fast spin with lots of kick. Adriano scored 90.25 and was second in the round.
He was followed by Renato Nunes aboard Crossroads who went around to the left into Renato's hand then reversed right at the end. Renato spurred the bull for extra needed points, as the bull was kind of flat. Renato scored 88.25 to tie for 5/7 and the bull scored 43.25.
Luke Snyder was next aboard Frontier Rodeo's Flash who spun around to the right into Luke's hand with rear and drop. Luke remained centered and in perfect position and made another great looking ride. He’s been doing great this season and I sure am glad. Luke scored 90.75 and won the round while the bull scored 44.50.
Ross Coleman finished 9th in the round with a solid ride aboard The Geetus who was around to the left away from Ross' hand with lots of kick. Ross cored 87.25 and the bull scored.
Another good ride was Kody Lostroh aboard Montego Bay who scored 43.50, as he was around to the left into Kody’s hand with high kicks in a good spin. Kody was 3rd in the round with 88.75.
Round Two began with a really high score as LJ Jenkins rode Chad Berger/Denny Hawks' Scaredy Cat for 92 points as the bull who scored 45 went around to the right onto Kody's hand with high kicks. Kody remained in complete control and also made a good spur ride. His score held and he won the round.
Clayton Foltyn rode Why Not Minot for 88.75 and 5th place in the round. The bull that scored 43.75 took one huge leap forward before going around to the right into Clayton's hand. He was followed by Colby Yates' 13/14th place tie aboard Hoosier Daddy. The bull took one leap out with good rear and drop then went into a fast but flat spin into Colby's hand while Colby made a good spur ride. His score was 86 while the bull scored 41.25.
Guilherme Marchi scored 84.75 on Spiderman who took two leaps out then went around to the left with no timing.
Kolt Donaldson who is riding with a broken rib scored 87.75 aboard Mean Machine who scored 43.The bull was into his hand to the right with good timing.
Dustin Elliott was second in the round with 91.75 aboard Walk The Line who scored 45.25. The bull faked right then went into a tight left spin with good action.
Renato Nunes aboard Montego Bay followed him. Renato was 6th in the round with 88.50 while the bull scored 43.Rena to didn't spur till the end of the ride as the bull was around to he left into Renato's hand.
Austin Meier rode Big Rig for 86.25 points and 12th place in the round while Big Rig scored 42.25.The bull took three leaps forward before seagoing around to the left into Austin's hand while Austin made a good spur ride.
It was good to see Matt Bohon make a solid ride aboard Keep Wishin who faked left then spun right then reversed back left. Matt tied for 16/17 with his score of 84.50 while the bull scored 42.25.
Brian Canter looked good when he scored 89.75 aboard Flash who was around to the right away from Brian's hand. Brian tied for 3/4 while the bull scored 44.
Adriano Moraes rode Mataska for 87.25 and a tie for 9/11 in the round. Mataska was around to the right away from Adriano's hand with good action. Adriano looked great and they best remember its not over till the fat lady sings and the way Adriano is riding now..... I think it would be great for him to go out as a four time PBR World Champion! The bull scored 43.
JB Mauney scored 86 aboard Wildfire who has lost a step and scored 42.25. The bull was around to the left into JB's hand then jumped forward before reversing right. JB tied for 13/14.
I still haven't seen Mike White cause a bull to foul. He scored 89.75 to tie with Brian Canter for 3/4 in the round. Mike rode Splat Kat who was around to he right into Mike's hand then reversed left away while Mike made a good spur ride. The bull scored 43.75.
Harve Stewart looked good aboard Malibu who was around to the right into Harve's hand while Harve also made a good spur ride. He scored 88 and finished 7th in the round while the bull scored 43.75.
Valdiron de Oliveira scored 84.50 to tie for 16/17 as Two Spot didn't have his usual trip and took two long lunges out then faked right before going around to the left away from Valdiron's hand. The bull scored 41.75.
Some rides not shown on the broadcast were Ned Cross' 87.25 aboard Husker's Terror who scored 43.25. Cross was tied for 9/11 in the round with brain Hermann aboard Little Coyote and Adriano.
Harve Stewart keeps looking better each ride. He scored 90.50 in the short go aboard Nervous Waters who was around to the left away from Harve's hand in a drifting spin then reversed right and Harve hung on to the end. He finished second in the round and third in the event. The bull scored 45.75.
Zack Brown won the short go with a great ride aboard Sir Patrick who went into a fast spin to the right away from Zack's hand after faking left. Zack never bobbled and scored 90.75, which pushed him into second place in the event. The bull score 44.50.
It looked like Kody Lostroh was going to get a good score aboard Harlan Robertson's Big Rig who was around to the left into Kody's hand with high kicks while Kody made a good spur ride. It would have taken the lead but the judges reviewed the ride and said NS; that Kody was off at 7.8.
Mike White got another re-ride option when God's Gift hipped himself so.... His re-ride aboard Say I Won't Gunner was a buck off.
It was all in the bulls favor until Guilherme Marchi rode Bad Yeller for 88.25 and third place in the round.
The worst wreck of the night came when Little Slim threw Austin Meier out the back door and as he hung up the bull's foot stepped on his shoulder slamming his head to the ground. Austin was knocked out and carried out after regaining consciousness. He does have a concussion but might need to have his shoulder and/or neck x-rayed. He was going to be re-evaluated later on.
Congratulations to Guilherme Marchi.
