1. I thought the Classic bulls looked sluggish, but maybe it was the dirt. In spite of that, only 14 rides on Friday.
2. Ransom gets fifth in the Classic. Reindeer son makes good. Keep your eye on him.
3. Red flanks seem to be catching on. I'm all for it.
4. Anyone else think Pure Smoke looked slow?
5. Looks like Jeff Robinson has added Haunted Hotel, High Steaks, and Stubby to his ever-growing herd.
6. Bono runs off down the arena. Ty Murray says, "That bull just saw his last Built Ford Tough experience." A little fast to banish?
Best bulls of the weekend (strictly subjective):
Asteroid and Motown Magic. Motown Magic looked massive getting rid of Chris Shivers (see video below), and Asteroid (see bull profile here) followed up his Pueblo performance with another high quality out here in Thackerville.
High-marked bulls:
13/6 Bushwacker 46.25 (Moreno/Oliveira)
70S High Steaks 45.25 (Jeff Robinson)
781 Asteroid - 45 (Circle T)
789 Bad Blake - 45 (Lightning C)
683 Motown Magic - 45 (Circle T)
705 Shaky Waters (Show Sports)
Pretty Bull:
They showed a lot of nice close-ups of him this week, so I have to say: Bushwacker. For the brockle-face.
