New York by the Numbers

Every bull riding is a story full of numbers.  Here are some from the NYC event.

90 + rides:  2 (Cody Nance on Ridin Dirty - 90.25 - and Renato Nunes on Delco - 91.50)

89+ rides:  3

45+ bulls: 3 (Delco twice, Carillo Cartel)

44+ bulls:  15 (see Bulls and Bloodlines for the list)

Number of bull scores under 40: 10

Reride options:  6

Total number of rides (out of 144 attempts):  71 [that's compared to 49 at the Hartford event last year]

Riders with 5 rides:  1

Riders with 4 rides:  4

Riders with 3 rides:  7

Riders with 2 rides:  10

Riders with 1 ride:  9

Riders with 0 rides:  7

Number of bulls with new owners: 6 (that I know of)

Bulls with names you wouldn't want to have in high school if you were a bull:  Kitty Kat wouldn't be good.  Angry Cactus not so much better.  BigTexTrailers.com, very sad.  So that would be: 3

Number of seats in Madison Square Garden:  20,000

Square footage:  20,976
