He’s done that so far here, steering his way to a second-place total after Monday’s fourth round with $10,500. Mississippi’s Will Lummus also collected $10,500 in Pool A action, while Montana’s Ty Erickson topped all with $14,000. Idaho’s Stetson Jorgensen needed a last-ride 4.1-second wrestle to grab the other spot out of Pool A for Showdown Sunday with $10,000 total.
“It’s good to get him rode, definitely,” said Coverchuk, moments after his 86.0 ride topped the Day 4 bull riding for the $5,500 payday and thrusted him into a qualifying spot for the championship round. “I heard he was a good one, so I kind of knew the game on him. It turned out he was just like he was supposed to be, so I’m really happy.Article content
Dona Kay Rule actually laid down the fastest time of the week with her 17.19-second trip, but her mount, High Valor, knocked down a barrel on the cloverleaf to add fault-time. Still, the Oklahoma racer — with $13,500 — joins Hillman for Showdown Sunday. Both knew going in to Monday’s action that the previous three days of success — including a Sunday win, as well, for Hillman — had secured those spots in the finale.
“Yup, it feels good — there’s no better feeling than riding out here at the Calgary Stampede,” said Hay, who’s been severely hampered by a torn quad injury. “You’ve gotta bear down to get through this. It’s just grit your teeth and hope for the best.” So the other three qualifying spots hung in the balance Monday and were snapped up by Sage Newman and Chase Brooks — both from Montana — and New Mexico’s Ross Griffin. Brooks matched Hay’s top mark during Round 4’s performance on Little Sister, while Newman was fourth aboard Winning Ways, and Griffin earned fifth-place money on Molly Brown. Griffin’s $1,500 payday was just enough to knock Kole Ashbacher, of Arrowword, Alta., from contention.
The other final berths were tied down by Logan Bird, of Nanton, Alta. — also with $10,000 — and Oklahoman Tyler Milligan, with $9,000.Day 1 of the two-day novice saddle bronc went Monday, with four of the six cowpokes staying aboard for the full eight seconds. In the end, B.C.’s Jaret Cooper put up a top-spot 69.0 ride on Einstein Quest, edging Colten Powell, of Innisfail, Alta., and his 68.0 score aboard Exciting Bubbles. B.C.
