Third Time's The Charm For Brazilian Bull Rider At Denver Chute Out
Third Time's The Charm For Brazilian Bull Rider At Denver Chute Out
Kaique Pacheco won the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Denver Chute Out at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo.
DENVER, CO -- It took three trips to the National Western Stock Show to compete at the Denver Chute Out for Brazilian bull riding sensation Kaique Pacheco to leave with the title.
He did that this year at the Professional Bull Riders' (PBR) Real Time Pain Relief Velocity Tour event and did it with style. Pacheco who is from Itatiba, Sao Paulo, won the first round on Monday night. Then he was part of a bounty bull challenge, which he also won.
He had Tuesday night off and got to watch his buddies and fellow competitors ride. On Wednesday, he was part of the 31 riders who got a second opportunity to ride.
He got the bull named High Razor owned by D&H Cattle Company and Buck Cattle Company. Another eight seconds got him an 85.5 score and put him in the driver's seat for the finals. There were only two out of the 15 bull riders that advanced to the finals that were successful, and Pacheco was again leader of the pack.
He was 91 points on a bull named Jack Shot from D&H Cattle Company and David Huffman. That ride gave him a total of 264 points to win the championship and $16,478. Including the $5,000 won for riding the bounty bull on Monday, Pacheco earned $28,967.
More importantly, he got the championship buckle and earned a title from an event he has always enjoyed coming to.
Rodeo action continues at the National Western Stock Show with the first performance of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo beginning at 7 PM on Thursday.
