Brady Turgeon Captures Win At Cody/Yellowstone Xtreme Bulls

The Cody/Yellowstone Xtreme Bulls annually bring many of the PRCA's top bull riders to Wyoming ahead of the Cody Stampede. With significant prize money on the line just before Cowboy Christmas, bull riders from all over the world gather in Cody looking to cash in and climb the world standings roster during one of the most important stretches of the season.

Brady Turgeon delivered the ride of the night, covering Frontier Rodeo’s Larry for 92 points – the only athlete in the field to score above 90 points. The No. 32-ranked cowboy earned $13,043 for his efforts, and while he sits a ways off from the Top 15, wins like this are exactly what can push a competitor into NFR contention.

NFR qualifier Cooper James finished second in Cody, scoring a respectable 88.5 points and taking home just one dollar shy of $10,000. James won over $23,000 in the month of June alone and continues to hold firm in the Top 15 in the world standings.

Jeter Lawrence finished third with 88 points, collecting $7,391, while Jace Trosclair placed fourth after an 87.5-point ride worth $4,782. Scott Wells rounded out the top five with 87 points, earning $3,043. Dustin Boquet finished sixth with 86 points ($2,174) and Canyon Bass claimed seventh with an 85-point ride ($1,739).

Current world standings leader Tristen Hutchings placed eighth with 84.5 points to earn $1,304. Despite the lower finish in Cody, Hutchings continues to strengthen his hold on the top spot in the world standings, sitting at more than $170,000 in season earnings. Behind him, Stetson Wright holds second with just over $142,000, while Resistol Rookie Noah Lee stays close in third at $137,802.68.
