Kaique Pacheco reminded everyone why he is the No. 1 ranked bull rider in the world when he closed out the night with an 89-point ride on Crazy Horse to win Round 3 of the Built Ford Tough World Finals Friday night at T-Mobile Arena.
Pacheco added 300 world points to his lead for the finish. His ride on Crazy Horse Friday night was his third in three meetings. Pacheco now leads No. 2 Cooper Davis by 207.83 points.
Davis finished tied for second in Round 3 after his 88.5-point ride on Hammer Down. He earned 152.5 points toward the world standings and is now 2-for-3 so far at the World Finals.
Ty Pozzobon tied with Davis for second place in Round 3 after his 88.5-point ride on Modified Clyde. Pozzobon is one of three riders who have gone 3-for-3 at the Finals. Valdiron de Oliveira rode Calypso for 86.25 points and Ryan Dirteater made 8 seconds on Jack Daniel’s After Party to remain perfect inside T-Mobile Arena.
