Dollar Talk with Bobbi LeAnn

In the bareback riding of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Kaycee Feild from Payson, Utah is ranked number one with $43,129.79 in earnings. Wes Stevenson from Lubbock, Texas trails Feild by $4,276.76 with a total of $38, 853.03. J.R. Vezain of Cowley, Wyoming sits in the third place spot with $36,064.21. Bobby Mote is just out of the top three in the run for the world title by a $1,000. Although they remain nearly $10,000 behind fourth place, Austin Foss and Seth Hardwick are still climbing in the standings. A quality ride by the cowboys in the fifth round could lead to a change in the standings.

Casey Martin of Sulphur, Louisiana leads the steer wrestling event with $31,407.53 in total earnings. Matt Reeves of Cross Plains, Texas, Dean Gorsuch of Gering, Nebraska, and Trevor Knowles of Mount Vernon, Oregon follow closely behind Sulphur all with earnings in $29,000. Performances during the fifth round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo could widen the earnings between the first through fourth place standings. Although the top six cowboys have all had decent runs throughout the National Finals Rodeo, Dean Gorsuch showed up during the fourth round and finished with a time of 3.1 seconds. Another quick run for Dean in the fifth round could define the spread between the others.

On the heading side in the team roping event, Kaleb Driggers of Albany, Georgia claims the top spot with $57,537.25 in earnings. Erich Rogers of Round Rock, Arizona stands in second with $47,414.64 in total earnings. Clay Tyran of Billings, Montana closely trails Rogers with earnings of $46,067.12. On the heeling side of team roping, Travis Graves of Jay, Oklahoma finishes in the top spot after four rounds with $50,754.47. Jade Corkill of Fallon, Nevada, and Cory Petska of Marana, Arizona closely follows behind Graves both in the $47,000 range.

Again on the rough stock side of the arena, Chad Ferley of Oelrichs, South Dakota takes the lead after four rounds with $37,081.20 in total earnings. Jesse Wright and Cody Wright both of Milford, Utah finish in the second and third place positions trailing nearly $2,5000 behind Ferley. Cody Wright came into the Wrangler National Finals rodeo number one in the world; however, after a tough first four rounds, Wright has dropped to the third place spot. After four rounds, all three of the Wright brothers remain in the top six in world standings.

Tuf Cooper of Decatur, Texas sits in the top position with $53,704.67 in total earnings. Cooper has over a $10,000 lead on Scott Kormos of Teague, Texas who totals $42,121.96 in earnings for the first four rounds of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Tyson Durfey of Colbert, Washington claims the third place standing with $39,494.43. Cody Ohl of Hico, Texas made another quick run in the fourth round with a time of 6.9 seconds. Ohl has won two consecutive rounds during the 2013 Wrangler National Finals rodeo. Another quick run for Olh in the fifth round could close the gap between him and the top three finishers.

In the bull riding event, Shane Proctor of Grand Coulee, Washington takes the first place earnings with $35,167.70. Trevor Kastner of Ardmore, Oklahoma closely trails Proctor with earnings of $33,705.50. J.W. Harris of Mullin, Texas and Cody Campbell of Summerville, Oregon are both within the $26,000 range. J.W. Harris has rode three out of four bulls at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. During his fourth round ride, he made some quick recoveries, but never gave up on the ride. In round three, Cody Campbell made the high score 90. This is the highest score yet during this year’s Wrangler National Finals rodeo. During round four Campbell scored with an 85 keeping him in the race for the world championship.

In the 2013 PRCA World Standings All-Around, Trevor Brazile of Decatur, Texas holds on to the top spot with $281,028.52. Brazile has nearly a $150,000 lead over second placer Tuf Cooper. However, it will be a race for second as Tuf Cooper also of Decaur, Texas has $139,935.04 in earnings and Jade Corkill of Fallon, Nevada $138,435.54.
