One of the greatest bucking horse lineages in ProRodeo history will be on display during the 10th go-round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo tonight.
There are five horses that were sired by Night Jacket that will be featured in the TV pen in both bareback riding and saddle bronc riding. It should be magnificent action.
BAREBACK RIDING
Winn Ratliff-Shady Nights, Pickett Pro Rodeo
Caleb Bennett-Dirty Jacket, Pete Carr Pro Rodeo
Kaycee Feild-Scarlet’s Web, Pete Carr’s Classic Pro Rodeo
SADDLE BRONC RIDING
Cody DeMoss-Resistol’s Top Hat, Stace Smith Pro Rodeo
Wade Sundell-Big Tex, Pete Carr’s Classic Pro Rodeo
Scarlet’s Web helped Casey Colletti to the 10th-round win last December and also helped him win the fifth round in 2012. The 12-year-old bay mare also matched moves with Tilden Hooper for 90 points to win the 10th round in 2008 and Tom McFarland to the sixth-round victory in 2007.
Dirty Jacket, the 2014 Bareback Horse of the Year, helped Richmond Champion to the fifth-round victory on Monday. The 10-year-old bay gelding was the 2013 Reserve World Champion Bareback Horse and finished third in 2012.
Big Tex, the 2010 Bareback Horse of the Year, helped Sundell to the San Antonio title earlier this year with a 90-point ride. He also is part of the highest-marked bareback riding score in NFR history, matching with Bobby Mote for 91.5.
