Heeler Justin Davis has competed at RodeoHouston so many times, and with so many different partners, he couldn’t remember who he won here with in 2013 .Davis and new partner Nelson Wyatt won the team-roping round with a time of 5.1 seconds in Semifinal 2 on Thursday night at NRG Stadium. “We have good chemistry and that’s why we win,” Davis said.Davis and Wyatt edged Rhen Richard and Jeremy Buhler by 0.
The Sam Houston State grad went first in the set and was the only roper to break 9 seconds, completing his run in 8.9. Smidt now has $6,250 in winnings, and remains on track for his second Houston title. Prairie View’s Cory Solomon advanced with a 9.5. Hunter Herrin and Reese Riemer also joined the Texans in Sunday’s final. Ty Harris, who just won The American rodeo in Arlington – where he also split the $1 million jackpot with breakaway roping champion Jackie Crawford – did not survive the semifinal.Both wild cards feature six athletes in each event – with only the round winner continuing their stay in Houston.
Jayco Roper, who was the first cowboy to go in bareback, had the top score – 87 points on Star Witness – until the final ride, when Leighton Berry posted an 87.5 on Bay Nation to win the round. Jess Pope, the defending Houston and world champion, and five-time Houston champion Kaycee Feild also advanced.
“I wanted more of a horse ,” Feild said. “That horse didn’t really test my abilities, and I wanted to show out a little more, win the semifinal and head to the finals with everybody talking about me,” Feild said. “But I’m motivated, I’m hungry, and I’m ready to get back here and draw the big bad buckers.”
