Elijah and Clay Gordon both won some big money at the Bull Riders Canada event that was held on the final day of the 94th Williams Lake Stampede.
Elijah was third in the long go with a 79 on a bull named ‘Fire Engine Red’, while Clay scored a 74 to finish 4th on ‘Penny Wise.’
The top 10 then advanced to the short go but not a single cowboy made the 8 seconds.
That left Elijah and Clay in third and fourth in the average as well.
Elijah took home $2,499.50, while Clay’s take was $1,666.50.
William Bowers from Foremost, Alberta was first with an 82, while Fabian Dueck from Paraguay was the runner-up with an 81.
