Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo saved the best for last in only one event this past weekend, the PBR's Last Cowboy Standing is a momentous task in itself but Kaique Pacheco had some extra pressure in round three, and Tuf Cooper keeps racking up all-around dollars. 

Here's the Rodeo Recap for May 7.

Reese Riemer, The Only Leader Change In The Final Performance At Guymon 

The leaderboard changed quite frequently throughout the weekend, but as of the third performance of the 2018 Guymon Pioneer Days in Guymon, Oklahoma, all competitors were locked into their No. 1 positions but one. Just a hop and a skip away in Stinnett, Texas, Reese Riemer rolled into Guymon on the final day of competition in the lead, but he didn’t want to let that phase him.

“I came in here with the lead, but I wanted to be aggressive,” Riemer said to Ted Harbin of twisTEDrodeo.com. “I didn’t want to sit back on my pockets and let it get away. I’ve been there before and tried to safety up, and it cost me. I wanted to go at it like I was coming from behind. I seem to rope better that way and have better luck.”

He didn’t have much time to think about safetying up when his calf took off and tried to outrun him. Riemer showed the competitive fire it takes to be a top PRCA competitor by getting the job done in 10.6 seconds, giving him a time of 30.2 in the average—more than three seconds ahead of second place. 

The two-time WNFR qualifier has the same plan for getting back to the "big show."

“If I want to make it back to the NFR, I just need to rope aggressive,” he said to twistTEDrodeo.com.

Kaique Pacheco Wins PBR’s Last Cowboy Standing Event, Takes Lead In Standings

Las Vegas played host to four rounds of the PBR’s Last Cowboy Standing event on the 25th PBR: Unleash The Beast Tour last weekend. Brazil’s Kaique Pacheco rode away with two round wins plus the overall win at the strenuous event, but it wasn’t a day off for Pacheco. 

In the third round, the 23-year-old drew the bull that now sits at No. 1 in the world standings and is the two-time reigning PBR World Champion Bull: SweetPro’s Bruiser. The matchup was one to remember for Pacheco who not only won round three, but did so to the tune of 92.75 points before going on to win the final round of competition and the event with another impressive 88.5-point score.

The win earned Pacheco $160,291.67, 940 standings points and moved him up to No. 1 in the PBR world standings.

Cooper Has More Than Doubled His Competition In All-Around Race

Tuf Cooper has more than double the earnings than his closest competitors in the race for the 2018 all-around title. Cooper sits at $103,012.02 in the PRCA world standings while second- and third-place competitors Trevor Brazile and Ryle Smith have $51,947.05 and $51,196.70, respectively.

Cooper can give some credit to that boost in the standings to big checks in the steer roping lately. At the end of April, Cooper was on fire at the National Circuit Steer Roping Finals in Torrington, Wyoming—winning two of the six rounds, the six-head average by nearly eight seconds, and splitting the semifinal round win—collecting $9,676.00.

The reigning all-around champion and three-time tie-down roping champion has also earned nearly $8,000 since the start of the month, including some more steer roping success at the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo last weekend where he won round one and placed third in round two to pick up $3,294.00.

With a large amount of money available at the WNFR, Cooper will want to enter the finals with the largest lead possible to help his hopes of a second consecutive all-around title. If he is successful, he would be the first competitor to win two in a row since Trevor Brazile’s reign of titles that was only interrupted once from 2002 to 2015.
