“I had a few mishaps in the first three rounds on my part,” shared Lucas, “that I feel were kind of rookie mistakes. I was letting the nerves get to me but I was able to set those aside for the next few rounds. I should have been better tonight as well, but I’ll be thankful for third.”

Tight races are the order of the day in the remaining events as well.

In the bareback riding, three-time Canadian Champion Jake Vold remains in the overall lead with Dublin, Texas cowboy Richmond Champion, and Ky Marshall of Bowden tucked just behind him in second and third.

Ponoka’s Wacey Finkbeiner is the only man who’s five for five in the bull riding. The second generation athlete holds a $4700 lead on fellow Ponoka resident, Zane Lambert. However, Finkbeiner leads the aggregate with Lambert sitting in fourth.

Hermiston, Oregon barrel racer Callahan Crossley has put together the most lucrative CFR week to date with $47.250 in earnings.

Scott Guenthner of Provost saw his season lead evaporate during the early rounds of this CFR, but has rebounded with a first and a split of second in the last two rounds to climb back into the driver’s seat heading into Sunday.

And in the saddle bronc riding, 2016 Canadian Champion Clay Elliott of Nanton holds a razor thin lead of $200 over second place man, Zeke Thurston. Third place cowboy Jake Watson is also in the conversation, $15,000 in arrears of Elliott and Thurston.

The Champions in all seven events will be determined Sunday afternoon, November 4 at the Enmax Centrium starting at 1 p.m.
