World's Great Roper Event and BFI

The Worlds Greatest Roper event was held on Saturday and Sunday. K. C. Jones was the most consistent roper all day. He won it pretty easily I’d say! Dan Green came to the short go in second with a chance to catch him but got a front leg in the heading and that was it for him.

Marty Becker won second, Chad Masters was third, Trevor Brazile was fourth, and Dan Green was fifth. Seems like it was a good turn out and a good time. Nobody will win the extra $100,000 because K.C. is not entered in the other two events.

The BFI was today. The steers were not as good as they usually are, which made for a lot of really fast times and a lot of no times. Clay Tryan and Walt Woodard were the champs - they were a little long in the beginning then made some great runs in the last three rounds. They came back third high team with Speed and Al in the lead and the Minors were second high team. Brady roped a leg on a tough steer and ended up fifth. Speed and Al got a barrier and a leg on a pretty good steer which seemed like should not have been in the short go. Scored good but didn’t look like he thought they would put a loper in the short go - just my take on it.

Brandon Beers and Arky Rogers won second by 4/100 out of first on a tough second steer - roped an awesome roping. Tee and Rich won third - they drew a couple of tough steers. Cody Odell and J.W. Borrego won fourth. They had a leg on the third one and roped back in it. The Minors were fifth and Colby Schneeman and Tommy Zuniga were 15th call back and won the short go and ended up sixth.

Slack at Reno rodeo starts tomorrow. Speed and Al went in the performance tonight. Went 5.5 winning the round - might have made him mad today. That’s bad for the rest of us. Everybody else goes tomorrow and Wednesday. We’ll see what happens…
