Reigning World Champ Takes Lead at
National Western
DENVER, Colo. --- A near capacity crowd at the National Western Stock Show Rodeo got to see rodeo history on Monday afternoon. Trevor Brazile, from Decatur, Texas, made history in 2009 when he won his seventh world championship in the all-around category in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Brazile is tied with Ty Murray for the most all-around titles in the association and surpassed Larry Mahan and Tom Ferguson with last year’s win. He is now working towards a record eighth championship and will stand alone as king of the cowboys when that happens, and if his performance here is any indication it could very well be in 2010. Brazile, who is also the reigning tie-down roping champion, took the lead in the first round of that event with a blazing 7.4-second run. Riding his great buckskin horse, Jaguar, he made a near perfect run that is the fastest seen in the Denver Coliseum in the past two years. Doug Pharr, from Victoria, Texas, also stopped the clock in 7.4 seconds in 2008. This was Brazile’s first of two appearances in tie-down roping. His second will be at the Tuesday matinee, beginning at 2 p.m. He competed in team roping on Sunday where he and Patrick Smith had a time of 5.3 seconds in the first round. That is currently in third place in the round. They failed to connect in the second round, so will be waiting to see if they remain among the top eight in the first round to get a share of the prize money. If they do, Braz ile could very well earn the all-around championship here, the first one of the 2010 season’s building rodeos. Many of the National Western Stock Show Rodeo contestants have left the metropolitan area to go to Steamboat Springs to compete at the 36th Annual Cowboy Downhill ski event. The event is a fund raiser for the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund which helps cowboys and cowgirls pay their living expenses in the event of an injury. The contestants that competed here on Monday afternoon have their second round competition on Tuesday at 2 p.m. Then a new group starts their first round on Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. Story Continues Below
