Jesse Kruse
Trevor Brazile made history just one month ago when he won his second
world tiedown roping championship and record seventh world all-around
title at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. The only disappointment he
mentioned in Las Vegas was his performance in team roping, and he’s on a
mission to get back to rodeo’s Super Bowl in that event with partner
Patrick Smith. On Saturday night, the two blazed to the lead in the first round of
team roping with a 5.0-second run. They’ll hope for another good run on
Sunday to make the top-12 finals on Feb. 7. Earlier, in the matinee
performance, Derrick Begay and Cesar de la Cruz, both of Arizona, went
to the lead in the average on two steers with their second straight
5.2-second run of the weekend. But the biggest move made at Fort Worth on Saturday came in the
matinee performance of saddle bronc riding, when defending world
champion Jesse Kruse did his title proud. The Montana cowboy scored a
whopping 87 points on Neal Gay’s great bronc Shallow Dancer to go to the
lead in the second round of his event by a mile. Together with his 75
points from the night before, Kruse sits first in the average on two
head.
