Bulls and Bloodlines: San Antonio

I don't have anything on I'm a Gangster except what was reported by the PBR, and what we saw.  He went down on his front legs and then down on his rear legs twice, but kept bucking.  Then he went down on his rear legs again after getting Vieira on the ground.

According to a PBR press release on Monday, veterinarian Gary Warner says that Gangster has pulled and torn ligaments in his rear left leg and possibly some nerve damage, but Robinson is reportedly "cautiously optimistic" about Gangster's return to competition by the World Finals in October.

Here's the video from PBR TV:

High Scoring Bulls (45+)

781 Asteroid - 46.50 (Circle T)
13/6 Bushwacker - 46.25 (Moreno/Oliveira)
JR070 Movin' On - 45.50 (Frontier Rodeo)  

Head to head  

For the second week in a row, Asteroid outscored Bushwacker.   

Say what?

034 Say When's bull score:  43.75.  I know he didn't spin, but okay, I say spinning is overrated!  (I'd last two seconds as a judge.)  I mark him 44.25.   Same deal with 59 Whiskey's Rebel (Boyd/Floyd).   

Broadcast bull talk

He wasn't scheduled to be on last night, but J.W. Hart soothed the soul that was pining for bull talk.   

In case you were wondering where Stubby went...

Stubby, formerly owned by D&H Page, is now known as Stanley Fatmax and is owned by Jeff Robinson.  I don't know if this is a sponsorship deal or what, but Stubby got robbed.
