From Canada Day Celebrations to Central Tour Money Announcements

It has certainly been a busy few weeks for the Bull Riding industry, and BRC has seen our fair share of the action!

Rockyford, AB - The Rockyford Lions and the Rockyford Agricultural Society once again held an amazing show that finishes with a Canada Day fireworks celebration. Mother Nature even held back a bit, as she poured rain right before showtime but held off once the bull riding action began.

BRCs reigning Finals Champion, Marcos Gloria from Central De Minas, Brazil, double entered this event and it sure paid off. In the Long Round, Marcos took first place with a 78 point ride on Wilson Rodeo's Hybrid Theory, as well as third place with a score of 68 on Flying High Rodeo's Bearded Betty.

In the Canadian Global Championship Round, newcomer Tristan Braden from Clermont, QLD, Australia was first place with an impressive 86.5 points on Outlaw Buckers Rodeo Corp.'s Dr. Fang. Not far behind him was Marcos Gloria in second place with 86 on Foley Bucking Bulls' Sweet Baby Ray.

Being the only Cowboy to ride two, Marcos Gloria leaves Rockyford as the Event Champion with over $3,600.00 in prize money and 610 points for the BRC National Standings.
