They will need to evaluate his condition later tonight have doing x-rays and a cat scan to see what they next steps are in his recovery. Our prayers are with Bonner Bolton and that he has a quick recovery.

Interesting Facts
- J.W. Harris has cut out all liquid carbs cold turkey. It is part of his plan to get back to his goal riding weight of around 145. This was the weight he was when he dominated the PRCA circuit winning 4 gold buckles. His goal for this year is to win both the PRB World Championship and PRCA Bull Rider of the Year.
- Derek Kolbaba is out to win Rookie of the Year. He is excited to be part of the BFTS and can't wait to see what the year holds for him.
- Cody Heffernan who is at this event due to top riders being out on injury this week stated that his primary goal this year is to claim the 2016 PBR Australia title and it is not to qualify for the BFTS full time this year.
- Mike Lee is only 16 qualified rides away from hitting a career total of 500 qualified rides. He would become only the second PBR bull rider to do this. First to do this was Guilherme Marchi in 2014.
- Silvano Alves hip is doing better after undergoing surgery and has been working out to get back into peak shape to be part of the race for the world title again this year.
- Silvan Alves actually took a re-ride option? Unlike his strategy in past seasons he was quoted to saying "it is a new year." I wonder if this will be his philosophy all season - only time will tell.
- J.B. Mauney doesn't get the birthday present he wanted. Saturday was J.B. Mauney birthday and a great birthday present would have been 8 seconds on Wipeout. But, things didn't go as planned and at 7.39 seconds J.B. Mauney got tossed off.
- Ryan Dirteater states that the PBR has made him a "climate control" bull rider.
- Douglas Duncan a few minutes before his championship round ride told Brandon Bates that he never shows up to take 2nd and that he expects himself to win. Douglas continues with "I've wanted a world title all my life." When Brandon asks Douglas what he has to do now, Douglas replies with "time to do what cowboys are supposed to do." I know Douglas can be a top 10 bull rider - so he just needs to shake off the bull in the championship round and get focused for next weekend!
Onto New York City next weekend for the first PBR Major of the season for the Buck Off At The Garden. It will be the first 3-day PBR BFTS stop of the season. It will also be the first 15/15 bucking battle of the year. And, just announced there will be a $25k bonus bull in the championship round. See y'all next weekend!
