Wellby shows his talent again
NATIONAL champion cowboy Braydon Wellby has notched up more points on the ABCRA ladder, taking out the Open Bull Ride at the Mt Garnet Rodeo.
Wellby had just come off a big win at the Anzac Round of the Great Northern Bullriding Series held in Mareeba the week before.
Wellby took out the honours for the evening with 165 points, ahead of closest rival Diego Galdino with 84pts.
The Junior Bull Ride was won by Caleb Sheahan (70pts) ahead of Levi Ward (69pts), while Dacey Terry and Shane Dyer tied for third place with 68 points.
Ward came back to the winner’s circle in the Novice Bull Ride to claim victory in that category as well as the 14-U18 Saddle Bronc event.
