Rolling into the last four rounds of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo things are heating up in several of the World Title races.
Here is how things are shaping up going into night seven:
In the All-Around, Stetson Wright holds a small lead of $2,174.07 over Bowie, Texas cowboy Clay Smith.
In bareback, Clayton Biglow out of California holds a $33,612.32 lead over Orin Larsen from Nebraska
Lousiana steer wrestler Tyler Waguespack is $3,652.04 ahead of Montana’s Ty Erickson.
In team roping on the header side, Smith is $69,791.19 ahead and with a round win and a few scenarios playing out in his favor could put himself in position to clinch the World before the final round. In heeling, Jade Corkill from Fallon, Texas, sits $25,168.03 ahead of his next competitor and is quickly closing in on the title.
Zeke Thurston the Canadian saddle bronc rider is $10,464.62 ahead of Ryder Wright. This may be a race to watch, Ryder Wright is known for his big rides in Vegas and with a couple of big nights can make a run at his second title.
Sulfur, Texas cowboy Shane Hanchey has used a couple of round wins to give himself a $36,489.78 lead over San Angelo, Texas cowboy Ty Harris.
In barrel racing, thanks to two huge round wins and a very consistent finals, Nellie Miller holds a thin lead over Hailey Kinsel of Cotulla, Texas.
Again in 2019, bull riding is the event with the biggest story. Sage Steele Kimzey holds a $107,878.09 lead over Boudreaux Campbell out of Crocket, Texas. With the round win last night Boudreaux climbed his way into the second spot. In order for him to make a real challenge for the title, Sage would have to have a couple of bad nights and he would have to top every round.
The other factor in bull riding is Stetson Wright has put together a couple of good nights in his bid to bring the All-Around Title back to its glory of the rough stock end. However, Smith continues to perform strong and make his push to keeping the All-Around Title at the timed event side of the arena. We will wait and see if Stetson can string together four big nights and make his mark in history by being the youngest All-Around winner and doing so from the rough chutes.
