Eight-time world champion bull rider Donnie Gay remembers looking at newspaper pictures of the action in Cheyenne while he was still in high school. It was a rodeo he wanted to see and compete in and last night Gay was pleased to open the envelope that named Cheyenne Frontier Days the 2009 “Large Outdoor Rodeo of the Year.”
Cheyenne has been a regular winner of the award presented at the annual PRCA convention staged the night before the national finals rodeo begins in Las Vegas. Winners are picked in several categories based on the votes by all card-carrying PRCA members.
Wyoming stock contractors played a big role in the winning tallies in two other rodeo categories. The Estes Park, Colorado event won top honors as “Small Rodeo of the Year.” The lead stock provider at Estes is Powder River Rodeo Company of Riverton. And “Medium Rodeo of the Year” for 2009 is Deadwood, South Dakota. Burch Rodeo Company of Rozet, WY is stock contractor for that show.
Here is the rundown of cowboys/draws for tonight’s opening round at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo:
Bull Riding
The three Wyoming bull riders will be bunched in a grouping to fill three out of four slots so fans will have a lot of rooting to do in a short period in tonight’s final event. Clayton Savage of Casper takes on a bull called “Oochie Coochie.” Powell’s Kanin Asay challenges “Wises One Willy” and Bobby Welsh of Gillette has Franklin Rodeo’s “Good Vibration.”
Bareback Riding
2004 world champ Kelly Timberman from Mills has drawn “Good Time Charlie” out of the Classic Pro Rodeo string.
Wyoming fans will want to keep a close eye on the steer wrestling as two state favorites are hazing throughout the competition this year. Jason Miller of Lance Creek, who won the world in 2007, is helping two doggers make their runs and Les Shepperson from Midwest is handling hazing chores as well. Les was injured at Rodeo Houston last winter and was sidelined the rest of the season. Miller finished a little out of the Top 15 this year.
Governor Dave Freudenthal and First Lady Nancy are here in Las Vegas to support Team Wyoming, and Wyoming-based businesses. The First Couple will attend the first rodeo tonight.
The first round will be televised on ESPN Classic starting at 8 Mountain Time tonight.
