Jake Wright won the Navajo Nation Fourth of July PRCA Rodeo in Window Rock, Ariz., with an 88.

Troy Crowser was 84 to finish in a tie for second place at the Lea County (N.M.) Fair and Rodeo.

Ryan Elshere finished in tie for sixth place with an 80 at the Eagle County (Colo.) Fair and Rodeo.

Two-time world champion Taos Muncy missed his markout to win the Guymon (Okla.) Pioneer Days Rodeo.

This is the horse’s first trip to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

Pete Carr purchased Cool Runnings from Dale Woodard of Outlaw Buckers. Woodard has purchased the gelding from Wayne Vold as a 2-year-old.

“When I had Cool Runnings, Cimarron Gerke won the long round at the Ponoka (Alberta) Stampede when he was 4 or 5,” Woodard said. “I sold him to Pete that fall right after the Canadian Finals. When we sold him to Pete, he was a bareback horse. He was wild, but he’s matured now, and Pete’s got him in broncs. I like to see those horses become broncs.

“I think one of the great things about that horse is his bloodline. Wayne Vold is famous for the bloodlines on his horses.”
