In other events, two time Canadian Champion Shane Hanchey is making the most of his fourth appearance at the 2018 CFR with a split of round one ($9180) and an outright win in round two (7.4 seconds, $10,530) to go to the lead in the tie-down standings.

The bull riding race tightened up as Ponoka’s Wacey Finkbeiner moved to within $1500 of the season lead with an 87.25 point ride.

While Finkbeiner is two for two, he’s chasing fellow Ponoka hand Zane Lambert while Garrett Green of Meeting Creek, AB and regular season leader, Jared Parsonage of Maple Creek, SK are right behind in 3rd and 4th respectively.

2013 Canadian Steer Wrestling Champion, Clayton Moore, flashed the form that earned him the title with a 3.6 second run to claim the $10,530 first place cheque.

Scott Guenthner continues to hang on to the overall lead despite being out of the money in the first two rounds.

In the saddle bronc riding, 2016 World Champion Zeke Thurston of Big Valley turned in a brilliant 87.75 point effort to remain second overall behind Clay Elliott who was bucked off last night.

The team roping was split between 2016 World Champions Levi Simpson and Jeremy Buhler and the Ellensburg, Washington team of Riley and Brady Minor. Both teams clocked rapid 4.3 second runs.

The back to back wins by the American duo took them to the overall lead as they slipped past regular season leaders Denver Johnson and Tristin Woolsey.

The Pacific northwest was front and centre in the barrel race as well as Hermiston, Oregon cowgirl, Callahan Crossley, blazed her way to a 13.823 second run and the go-round win.

But it was the second place run, by the 14 year old talent Taylor Manning, that had the crowd buzzing as the teenager took over the lead in the overall Canadian standings, dropping defending champion and 2018 season leader, Carman Pozzobon, to second place.

In the novice events, Red Deer’s hometown cowboy, Carter Sahli, posted an impressive 81.5 winning score in the steer riding.

High River’s Lucas Macza won the round in the novice saddle bronc riding with a 74 score while Sundre cowboy, Mason Helmeczi bested the novice bareback riders with a 74.5 point ride.

The third performance of the Canadian Finals Rodeo runs Thursday starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Enmax Centrium.
