(Editor’s note: PRCA media release)
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Gifts have been plentiful for several competitors during the 2018 Cowboy Christmas run.
With just one rodeo left to be completed on July 10 – the Rooftop Rodeo in Estes Park, Colo., a handful of cowboys are still in the mix to win the top roughstock and timed-event of Cowboy Christmas honors.
Unofficially as of July 9, reigning two-time world champion bareback rider Tim O’Connell is leading the roughstock chart with $31,014. His total will not change because he will not compete at Estes Park.
Saddle bronc rider Chase Brooks is close on O’Connell’s heels with $29,936. Brooks is currently tied for fourth place at Estes Park. Sage Kimzey, the reigning three-time world champion bull rider, has earned $29,856, but he is not competing at Estes Park.
Bareback rider Richmond Champion has earned $27,536 and has a chance to win more money. He will compete on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Party Girl, July 10, in Estes Park.
The race to determine the timed-event Cowboy Christmas winner also is tight.
Unofficially, tie-down roper Cooper Martin is leading with $23,944, but he’s not competing at Estes Park.
Trevor Brazile is right behind Martin with $23,714 in earnings, and he’s competing in tie-down roping and team roping in Estes Park, Monday night.
Team ropers Aaron Tsinigine and Trey Yates have earned $20,333 each, and they also could overtake Martin while competing July 10 in Estes Park.
Brazile has the record for most money earned during Cowboy Christmas as he earned $39,993in 2011. Brazile earned $28,089 in tie-down roping that year and another $11,904 with partner Patrick Smith in team roping. Tie-down roper Shane Hanchey holds the single event, timed-event Cowboy Christmas record of $32,293 in earnings, which was set in 2016.
