Aus earns Round 9 victory

Written on December 10, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – Tanner Aus has had an amazing salary in just nine December nights. He won Friday’s ninth go-round, marking the third time he’s earned at least a share of the top score in bareback riding. He also has placed three other nights. So far, he has earned $100,468 in a week and a half, pushing his season total to $213,152. “I knew I had an opportunity to win the round,” said Aus of Granite Falls, Minn. “I had a little bit of those first-night jitters again.” He pocketed $26,231 after an 88.5-point ride on Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s Good Time Charlie, a veteran sorrel gelding that is bucking at the NFR for the ninth time. “I’ve seen him a lot, and he’s taken a lot of my buddies to the pay window,” said Aus, who shared the first-round win and also earned the victory on the third night. “My traveling partner, Ty Breuer, won Guymon on him a couple of years ago. “That’s another horse I’ve been craving, and I got on for the first time here at the National Finals; that means the world to me.” The Minnesota cowboy has done very well in Sin City. Through 19 go-rounds inside the Thomas & Mack Center, he has pocketed $184,224. He’s also have a great time. “After nine rounds, it’s incredible here,” Aus said. “There are guys that come out of the sports medicine rom, and they’re all taped up and full of ice, and they’re still happy to be here. That really fuels the fire and makes it fun.” All the fun ends Saturday in Round 10. Aus still has another night to add to his earnings. “Tonight’s round win was awesome,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to (Saturday) night. Every horse out is a chance to win. It’s going to be electric. We’re all ready, and everyone is ready and craving those TV-pen horses. It’s going to be so much fun.” It’s been fun already, so there’s no reason to stop the ride.

One more chance to fight

Written on December 10, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

Call outlasts Wildcard field for a shot at BFO Las Vegas Championship LAS VEGAS – Zach Call felt like he left some points on the board in his first-round bout at the Bullfighters Only Las Vegas Championship. He made sure that didn’t happen Friday during the event’s Wildcard Round at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The Mullen, Neb., man dominated the first round of the Wildcard with an 85.5-point fight to advance to the day’s final round with Toby Inman of Davis Junction, Ill., who had an 85.5 in the second round. It was a head-to-head match between the young gun Call and the veteran Inman, with only the winner moving on to Saturday’s BFO Las Vegas Championship finale, which takes place at 11 a.m., also at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. It will be followed by a “sessions” performance at 1:30 p.m. Tickets for the final day of the BFO Las Vegas Championship are on sale at HardRockHotel.com and AXS.com. “I wanted to push my bulls today as much as I could and see where the cards fall,” said Call, who matched moves with 12X and Costa Fighting Bulls’ Sid Vicious for 87 points to end Inman’s run for the title. “I was watching film of my fight from the other day, and I noticed a few things where I could get some more points.” He got them Friday, especially in his final battle with Sid Vicious. “I had seen that short-round bull at the Roughy Cup,” he said. “I was excited to have him, but he got my legs there at the end.” In fact, both Call and Inman were hooked by their bulls in the final round. Call was the first to go and had a strong fight through most of his 60-second bout. It was only at the end that Sid Vicious dumped him to the ground. “I don’t really like being the first guy, because you don’t know what you need to do,” Call said. “Toby came out and did everything he could.” True to form, Inman started his fight with a back flip over his bull and stayed close to the animal. He was dumped to the ground twice in his 85.5-point battle, but he continued to go after the animal. In the survive-and-advance, tournament-style format, both men knew they needed to pull out all stops if they hoped to be in Saturday’s championship. “This format definitely makes you work for it,” Call said. “Coming back this way was tough, but when you fought your way back, you feel like you’ve accomplished something.” He did, and he has one more chance to prove himself against eight more of the best bullfighters in the sport.

Elliott places 2nd in Round 8

Written on December 9, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – A month ago, Clay Elliott won the Canadian saddle bronc riding championship thanks to earning $42,978 at the Canadian Finals Rodeo, a six-round championship in Edmonton, Alberta. He’s earned about that much in just four nights at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, $42,842. Throw in the $10,000 bonus paid for qualifying for the finale, and Elliott’s Vegas earnings are nearly $53,000. “You know, that’s a pretty darn good feeling,” said Elliott, who grew up in Vernon, British Columbia, but now lives in Nanton, Alberta. “I was in a pretty bad place (emotionally) for about four days; it was my first NFR, and buggering up like that, but to come back from that is so damn cool.” The Canadian cowboy failed to place in any of the first four go-rounds. Since then, he’s earned four straight paychecks, with his biggest coming Thursday night when he rode Burch Rodeo’s Lunatic Fringe for 86 points to finish as the eight-round runner-up. That was worth $20,731. What’s even better was that it was on Canada Night at the NFR. “Everybody can be in good spirits and have fun when they’re winning, but when they’re not winning is where true champions show,” he said. “When they go from being down to coming back up, it is a very good experience. I’ve learned so much this week, and I can’t wait for several years to come.” It didn’t hurt that he put on a strong spur ride on a great bucking horse with a grand history. “I knew I had a good opportunity with the horse I had,” Elliott said of the horse. “I saw him go in the third round, I know I had to make a hell of a spur ride.” He did, and it paid off well. More importantly, it provides him with more momentum and confidence heading into the final two nights of the season. “You don’t know what success is until you’ve failed,” he said. “I still have two rounds left, and I can win another $50,000 if I want to, so I’m sure looking forward to it.”

Breuer spurs his way to money

Written on December 9, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – Ty Breuer is having the best season of his life, thanks in large part to his run at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He added to it during Thursday’s eighth go-round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo with an 84.5-point ride on Flying U Rodeo’s Come Down to finish fifth, worth $6,769. That pushes his Las Vegas wages to $38,981. “I’ve seen that horse all year,” said Breuer of Mandan, N.D. “My brother (Casey) has had him; Tanner (Aus) has had him a few times. That horse bucks, and today he had a really good trip. It felt good.” That’s saying something about the eighth-round group of horses, known as the “Eliminator Pen” because they are the hardest-to-ride animals in the game. To be able to post a solid score with that series of horses is an attribute to the toughness of the cowboys. “I thought I would have done a little better (Wednesday) night, because it was almost the exact same type of horse,” he said. “I was just thinking too much. It meant a lot to me tonight to place again. “When you start thinking about what it is you’re doing is when you’re not going to ride good. You’ve got to be ahead of that horse every jump. Before you think of it, it has to happen.” Breuer sits 11th in the world standings with $110,099. With that, he has surpassed his previous season earnings mark by more than $20,000. “Just to be here with these guys means a lot to me,” Breuer said of being among the top 15. “To be riding these horses is great, and the money is just a bonus. “I’m not even going to think about winning anymore. I’m going to just ride. That’s what I’m here for. I’m a long ways from where I want to be, but it’s getting better.” It is, one round at a time.

Aus earns fifth paycheck at NFR

Written on December 9, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – Through the first eight rounds of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Tanner Aus has placed five times. That’s a good winning percentage, and he is taking it all the way to the bank. In fact, he’s collected more than $74,000 and sits third in the world standings with $186,922. Not bad for a man competing for just the second time in Las Vegas. “We have a great group of guys, and the atmosphere tonight was a lot different than I remember last year before the ‘Eliminator Pen,’ ” said Aus of Granite Falls, Minn. “Everyone is ready to test their mettle. Everybody is ready to be the best and the toughest, and these are the horses we get to prove ourselves on. It was fun.” It was also wild. Aus scored 84 points on Rafter G Rodeo’s Assault to finish in a tie for sixth place Thursday night, adding $2,115 to his bank account. “I’d never been on Assualt,” he said. “It’s a great bucking horse with a great reputation. My buddy, Richie Champion, won $1 million on him three years ago. It makes your hair stand up a little bit when you see your name next to that one. “All the horses tonight are intimidating for one reason or another, but that one definitely has a trick to him. I tried to ride him through that button hook he has, and it was a challenge. I’m glad I made it to the whistle and made a little bit of money.” Having had the chance to collect checks through most of the rounds has been an amazing feat for the Minnesota cowboy. He understands that he should be part of the field every year, and he plans to take every road to return. “To be able to place amongst the people in this competition is really an honor, especially when you think of all the guys and all the work we put in all year,” Aus said. “We’re hauling down the road to every dusty little town just to be able to come down her and get on the best horses for 10 days in a row. “That certainly makes it worth it, and it’s nice to be against guys that know what it takes to get here.”

Larsen wins on Canada night

Written on December 9, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – There’s no better way to kick start Canada Night at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo than having one if its own win the round. Orin Larsen of Inglis, Manitoba, made it happen with an 87.5-point ride on Frontier Rodeo’s Full Baggage, the two-time Bareback Horse of the Year. It was a powerful way to earn a big payday in the game’s “Eliminator Pen” of bucking horses. “To win a round in the “E Pen” is really special, and to have it done on Canada Night is just icing on the cake,” said Larsen, who picked up his first go-round victory in his two qualifications to the NFR. “I guess it’s better late than never, so I’m just glad to have a round won finally.” With the win, he pocketed $26,231 and pushed his NFR earnings to $52,942. He also returned to the No. 2 spot in the world standings with $194,834, and he has two more nights to add to that. What’s even more impressive is that he failed to cash a check through the first five rounds, so nearly every dollar has come in just three days of work. “It might have taken me a little while to go through the pain and learn how to ride through it,” said Larsen, who suffered separated ribs on the first night of the 10-round finale. “I think once you learn to block it out somewhat, you can climb walls.” He did that with his ride on Full Baggage, a big, bay gelding that won the top stock honor in 2011 and 2013. He has been the epitome of the rankest pen of horses in the world. “He’s a horse I’ve wanted to get on for a long time,” he said. “There’s no better place to get on him than here. He comes around to the left, and it’s a boxing match the whole way. You don’t know who is going to win until the end. “I kept throwing punches, and he was throwing them right back. It felt like Muhammad Ali against Floyd Mayweather.” It was a prize fight in Las Vegas, and the Canadian grabbed the title belt from the two-time champ.

Fast and furious fights

Written on December 9, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

Four more men advance to the BFO Las Vegas Championship LAS VEGAS – The action at the Bullfighters Only Las Vegas Championship was wild, electric and dangerous Thursday at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Four men advanced to Saturday’s finale, three more will move on to Friday’s Wildcard and one man was injured and could not finish his fight. When the smoke cleared, Beau Schueth posted the highest-marked fight of the day with an 88.5-point bout to advance past Cody Emerson, who had an 86. “All this summer I’ve seen that bull go, and I knew he was really hot,” Schueth said of 12X and Costa Fighting Bulls’ Bad Intentions. “I’ve wanted to fight him, and luckily I drew him today. I started with a fake, and he bit on it. But that bull could switch around fast, and he was back on me. “Luckily he just barely caught my baggies, so I ripped them all the way off. I got to break him down even more. He kept coming all 40 seconds. He was definitely a difficult bull to get around but a fun bull to get around.” He will be joined in Saturday’s round by Tanner Zarnestski, Schell Apple and Travis Gidley. Zarnetski posted an 83.5 to upend Toby Inman’s 81, and Apple was 81 to slide past Ross Johnson’s 80. When Ross Hill suffered a serious knee injury early in his bout and was unable to finish, Travis Gidley advanced with a 76.5. While the four winners move on to Saturday, the others will battle back during the Wildcard. Eight men will fight for one spot in the championship round. Both performances begin at 11 a.m. at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and follow-up shows that feature the Bullfighters Only “Sessions” will begin at 1:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets for the final two days of the BFO Las Vegas Championship are on sale at www.HardRockHotel.com and AXS.com. “Being able to advance to Saturday is huge for me,” Schueth said. “If I would’ve had to go through the Wildcard to win this deal, I would’ve had to fight five bulls. That’s a lot of bulls to go through, especially with these great ones we have in Las Vegas. Being able to advance to Saturday means I have the possibility to fight just two more bulls to get that belt.” Eight men will battle in the Wildcard. It will feature two four-man rounds, and the winners will then square off against each other. The winner will advance to the championship round and be part of a nine-man field, which will feature three rounds of three competitors. The top three will advance to the short round, and the top scorer in the final round will earn the BFO Las Vegas Championship belt. “It’s amazing for a big hotel like the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to back us like this and to set up a place on their property,” Schueth said. “It’s probably one of the funnest bullfights I’ve been to up to date. Everybody pulled out the stops for this deal. “You can tell everybody’s going to fight as hard for this, because everybody wants to be on top.” His score on Thursday proved how much Schueth wants to take the title. It tied for the highest-marked fight of the first round, matching one exhibited by Weston Rutkowski on Wednesday. “This is definitely a boost of confidence from how I did last week during the Roughy Cup,” said Schueth, who had a rough run of things in the opening round last Thursday. “To get around a bull like this is huge, but at the same time, you have to let go and focus on the next one. It’s going to be a totally different fight, because no two bulls are the same. “This event could definitely boost me up out of fifth place and put me back in the hunt for the world title. That’s what we all want.”

Round 7 finally pays off for Jarrett

Written on December 8, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – Finishing second isn’t all that bad, especially at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Tie-down roper Ryan Jarrett did that Wednesday night during the third round, roping and tying his calf in 7.5 seconds to finish in a tie for second place with reigning world champion Caleb Smidt. Both cowboys earned $18,192. “Every dollar you win is looked forward to,” said Jarrett, a nine-time NFR qualifier from Comanche, Okla. “It makes things easier starting next year for sure.” He hasn’t had the finale he had hoped. His run Wednesday marked just the second time he has placed in Las Vegas, but he has earned $34,962 anyway. While he has dropped to 13th in the world standings, he has three rounds remaining in the 2016 season. He has an opportunity to earn more than $75,000 if things go his way. “It’s hard to have that kind if finals, especially when you run at this kind of money,” said Jarrett, who was raised in Summerville, Ga., before moving to southern Oklahoma with his wife, Shy-Anne. “This is our salary for the year. You just tell yourself, ‘Let’s pull it together; we are better than this, and we need to do our part, step up and rope the correct way. We need to do what we did to get here.’ ” Through the regular season, Jarrett had roped in $73,400 to advance to ProRodeo’s grand championship. But Lady Luck hasn’t been on his side in Sin City. From tough calves to a couple of mistakes, it’s all part of the competition. Throw in the pressure of competing in rodeo’s Super Bowl, and that further complicates matters. The one thing he hasn’t been concerned about has been his horsepower. He has leaned on T.J., a 13-year-old gray gelding owned by Canadian Logan Bird. “The horse has been good,” he said. “I’ve had some I had to track down to be quick, and I got kicked once, but, hey, life goes on. “I’ll take another (second-place tie) for the next three nights.” It would be a great way to close out this year’s NFR. Still, Jarrett will always critique himself, even when he has a solid time. “I could have had a better run on the ground,” Jarrett said. “I’m just glad we have three more to go. Hopefully I can salvage the 2016 NFR.” That’s not what he had envisioned when he arrived in Las Vegas two weeks ago, but he has learned to fit his future into what has happened in the past. Looking forward means striving for better, and he has his sights set on more prizes ahead.

Elliott gets NFR cash in a basic way

Written on December 8, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – The foursome of Billy Etbauer, Robert Etbauer, Dan Etbauer and Craig Latham was a fearsome group of amazing bronc riders in their day. They also are incredible educators, too. Clay Elliott is a testament to that. He sought out Oklahoma Panhandle State University primarily for its legacy in bronc riding. In his four years in the tiny town of Goodwell, Okla., the Canadian cowboy took in every lesson he could. It’s paying off in increments at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. During the seventh round on Wednesday night, Elliott spurred Stace Smith Pro Rodeo’s Pretty Boy for 81 points to finish fifth, pocketing $6,769. It marked the third straight night the Nanton, Alberta, cowboy cashed in at the NFR, ProRodeo’s grand finale “I focus on something I know I can do,” said Elliott, who grew up in Vernon, British Columbia. “I try to keep a really clear head. If there’s one thing I focus on, it’s my mark-out. It’s a free jump for me, and I get it and always get it.” That is the basic beginning to every ride. Cowboys must have the heel of their boots over the front of the horse’s shoulders; failures to do so results in a no-score. Even bigger is that a solid mark-out is the precursor to a good ride, and it goes back to his training in the Oklahoma Panhandle, a rugged sliver of land in the extreme northwest portion of the state. “It’s kind of old school, but it goes back to how I was taught and how the Etbauers and Craig Latham were taught,” he said. “You have your two-jump mark-out, and that sets up your whole ride. In the past two years, the mark-out rule has been altered a little. I’m repping the Etbauers and Craig Latham iin how strong I can make my mark-out. “It is based on what I learned from those guys at Panhandle State.” Combined, the Etbauer brothers and Latham had dozens of NFR qualifications and were best known as some of the rankest traveling partners in the history of the sport. Robert Etbauer is a two-time world champion, and younger brother Billy Etbauer is a five-time titlist. They are just four of the reasons why he decided to move to the Oklahoma for his education. “Going to Panhandle State, I had a clear understanding of what it takes to be a good bronc rider,” said Elliott, who has earned nearly $33,000 over seven nights in Las Vegas, pushing his year-end earnings to $112,260. “Obviously I’m still learning, but what they taught me is what I need to do, and I’m still working at it.” He is one of eight Canadians competing in Sin City, but he’s representing much more. “I have a cheering crowd from Canada and Oklahoma, and to keep riding the way the Etbauers and Craig taught me is pretty darn cool. It’s great to be the guy that Panhandle State is proud of.” There are many reasons for him to have that pride, especially if he continues to win through the final three nights of the 2016 season.

Champion rides a rank one into money

Written on December 8, 2016 at 12:00 am, by

LAS VEGAS – The bareback riders had their hands full Wednesday night during the seventh go-round at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. It gets tougher Thursday. “This is kind of a warm up for tomorrow,” said Richmond Champion, who spurred Calgary Stampede’s Trail Dust for 79 points to place fifth in the round. “No, the past three nights have been kind of rewarding. Everybody has had a smile on their faces, but tonight was a little more serious in the locker room.” Trail Dust is in a group called “semi-eliminators,” meaning they buck off a lot of cowboys through the season but aren’t nearly as hard to ride as the “eliminators,” which will be featured in Round 8. “I’ve seen him a lot,” Champion said, pointing out that several cowboys have posted high scores on the 8-year-old bay gelding over the last few years. “This was my first time to have him. “I really wouldn’t change anything, and I’m pretty happy with it. Tomorrow is the big boy ponies, and I have my eye on a few in that pen. I just want to keep the ball rolling, because things are feeling good.” Part of that has to do with his conditioning as he began the rugged 10-night competition. With his brother, Doug, being crossfit trainer and a former bareback rider, Champion has made a concerted effort to stay in top shape. “He sends me a workout every day when we’re at home,” he said. “We’ve changed it a little while we’re here, but he told me to just do what I need to do to feel good.” That’s important when cowboys are chasing the big money in Vegas. By adding $6,769 on Wednesday, he pushed his NFR earnings to $37,916. He is now 11th on the world standings money list with $106,246. “The workouts started when I was coming back from surgery, and he started getting the gym going,” Champion said. “I didn’t know what I needed to do or how to do it, so I went down there and he kicked my butt for three workouts a day for a week. It’s just carried on, and it’s huge to have that in my back pocket. “He’s been a huge part of this year, coming back late and having to grind it out the last four months to make it here.” He’s strong and focused, and he’s ready for the big paydays to come his way the final three nights of the 2016 season.
