$10,000 ride is just the ticket
WARWICK cowboy Lucas Wilson is home from a year of saddle bronc riding and travelling around North America in a black Cadillac.
Wilson and best mate Tyrell Smith, of Canada, compete as the War Party Enterprises team and can travel full-time to rodeos as they have excellent sponsors and pool their winnings.
While Smith finished the higher of the two, in 20th place on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys’ Association (PRCA) standings in 2009, Wilson gained the bigger payout, $US10,000, for second place in the saddle bronc ride at Miles City, Montana.
After he scored 88 at Miles City, Wilson thought his score would be enough to win but the next cowboy out scored 89 and relegated him to second.
The 88 at Miles City equalled Wilson’s career best, an 88 on the Happy Gill-horse Paper Rock at Southport three years ago.
Wilson was a full-time cowboy in 2009 but will return to the US in late March with a sporting visa which will allow him to obtain other work if necessary.
On the July 4 Independence Day weekend in 2009, there were nine PRCA rodeos during the three-day celebration. (read more)
