The Trevor Brazile Watch
Trevor Brazile won the tie-down roping in 8.0 seconds at the Eastland County ProRodeo in Ranger, Texas, and placed in a round of team roping with Patrick Smith at the Pendleton Round-Up for earnings of $3,465 from Sept. 18-20. In El Paso, Brazile claimed the all-around by tying for third place in the tie-down roping and tying for sixth in the second round of team roping with Smith. All total, Brazile won $937 at the Southwestern International PRCA Rodeo, which concluded Sept. 20. The paydays brought his season total to $227,362 ahead of the total he had on the same week in 2007 ($215,768), on his way to the single-season earnings record of $425,115.
Brazile, of Decatur, Texas, is qualified in both team roping and tie-down roping for this week’s Justin Boots Championships in Omaha, Neb., where there is prize money of nearly $800,000.
Cannon wraps up the Big 4 title
Bareback rider Clint Cannon used another solid week at the Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up to clinch the coveted “Big 4 Award,” given to the high-money earner at the rodeos in Walla Walla, Wash.; Lewiston, Idaho; Ellensburg, Wash.; and Pendleton. Cannon won the first round at Pendleton and finished sixth in the average to earn $5,193 for the weekend, which kept him atop the Big 4 standings after wins at Lewiston and Walla Walla. He received a $5,000 bonus check with the award.
The bonus money does not count toward the PRCA World Standings. Cannon leads the PRCA’s bareback riding standings with $202,428 a regular-season earnings record for the event by more than $50,000.
