Races tighten heading into final day of CFR ’48
It’s called Super Saturday-two performances and a huge opportunity for rodeo athletes to win big.
2019 Canadian Champion bareback rider, Orin Larsen, has a history of doing just that and he was at it again this time around. The Inglis, Manitoba-raised cowboy has either won or split the round in almost every Saturday matinee performance he’s performed at in six CFR qualifications.
But this year was even sweeter as the 2019 Canadian Champion won both rounds November 5 in Red Deer. Larsen marked an outstanding 87 points on Calgary Stampede’s B-12 BigTimin Houston in round 4 then added an even more impressive 87.75 in round five on Big Stone Rodeo’s 48 Fired Up.
When the dust settled, the CFR-NFR cowboy, who has placed in every round to date, pocketed $18,670 and moved to third in the aggregate.
