Hallam Leads Bull Riding at Fort Worth’s World’s Original Indoor Rodeo®

by Johna Cravens
for the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo

FORT WORTH, Texas — California cowboy Ricky Hallam became the first bull rider to make two qualified rides at the 2017 World’s Original Indoor Rodeo® Saturday night.

Hallam’s 74-point ride on Rafter G Rodeo’s Redrum isn’t likely to place in the second round and his total of 151 points probably won’t stay in the lead for the next 25 performances. But, he does have a good chance to qualify for the championship round on Feb. 4 with two solid rides in the books.

Saturday night welcomed a new set of bareback riders who completely re-wrote the first-round leaderboard. Nevada cowboys Trenton Montero and Grant Denny scored 83 and 81 points respectively to move into first and second. Californian R.C. Landingham’s 80-point ride moved him into third and Luke Creasy, the Australian who now calls New Mexico home, scored 79.5 to slide into fourth.

The same group of bareback riders compete in the second and third rounds on Sunday
when The World’s Original Indoor Rodeo® continues with performances at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at Fort Worth’s historic Will Rogers Coliseum.
