Bull Riding Takes Spotlight With Bingham's 88 At Fort Worth
Bull rider Tim Bingham rode Rafter G Rodeo's J Lazy for 88 points Monday night, which vaulted the Utah cowboy to the first-round lead by six and a half points.
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Bull rider Tim Bingham finished Monday at the World's Original Indoor Rodeo at the Fort Worth Livestock Show & Rodeo with a bang. His 88-point ride on Rafter G Rodeo's J Lazy vaulted the Utah cowboy to the first-round lead by six and a half points.
This was a matchup of two individuals who had earned berths at the National Finals Rodeo -- J Lazy who was featured in the final round of the 2016 finals and Bingham, who qualified for the finals in both 2014 and 2016 -- that lived up to its advance billing.
The score should earn Bingham a good first-round check here. If he can make a similar ride Tuesday night, the 25-year-old cowboy will likely return Feb. 4 for the championship round.
Bingham finished 10th in the 2016 world championship standings and is ranked 23rd so far in the young 2017 season.
Audy Reed of Spearman, Texas, just moved into the lead in the 2017 world standings in saddle bronc riding after winning nearly $10,500 at the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver on Sunday. On Monday, he was in Fort Worth and demonstrating that he won't be giving up that number one ranking without a battle.
Reed, who is at the beginning of his third season of professional rodeo, rode J Bar J Rodeo's Nightline II for 83.5 points which put him fourth in the first round.
The World's Original Indoor Rodeo continues Monday at 7:30 PM at Fort Worth's historic Will Rogers Coliseum.
