Jacoby electrifies crowd with a 90.5

Elliot Jacoby rides Brown Sugar for 90.5

Pendleton, ORE.  - Night one of the Pendleton PBR Classic brought rank bulls as only 14 out of 40 of the world’s best bullrider’s were able to make the buzzer. In the end, it was Elliot Jacoby of Frederiscksburg, TX. who came away with a combined score on two of 177.5 pts. to take the go-round. In route to victory, Jacoby electrified the crowd, and scored an extra $1000 as he rode the Coca-Cola Bonus Bull, Brown Sugar, for the nights best ride of 90.5 pts. Chad Denton, Oroville, CA., was able to hang on to second place as he rode Blended Red for 86 pts. in the championship round.

The bulls proved why bull riding is considered the toughest sport on dirt, as Jacoby and Denton were the only two to make it to the buzzer in the championship round. Each of the first six riders of the round were sent one, by one to the dirt before Jacoby took center stage on Brown Sugar. His 90.5 proved too much for Denton as three bulls later he scored an 86, 2.5 pts. shy of Jacoby.

As usual the crowd at Happy Canyon Arena was wound up the entire night. The new roof was nearly blown off, as award winning rodeo clown Flint Rasmussen kept the crowd entertained between bull rides.

Action continues tomorrow at 8 p.m., as 40 more of the world’s toughest cowboys will each tangle with 2000 lbs. of muscle in Pendleton’s Happy Canyon Arena.
