With ever-present events such as bareback riding, steer wrestling, tie-down roping and barrel racing all on the schedule as normal, Stetson Wright will be desperate to win back his all-round title. After five consecutive wins, injury put the mockers on his 2024 season and Shad Mayfield came out on top.
But with 'Money Mayfield' out of contention this year, Wright leads the standings heading into this week and will fancy his chances at a sixth crown. Only 20-year-old sensation Wacey Schalla really has a chance to stop him, although it would be a big ask of a young cowboy in his breakout season.
