Kindersley Cowboy has awesome Calgary Stampede
Reigning PBR Canada Champion Dakota Buttar of Kindersley, won Pool A of the 2021 Calgary Stampede.
Drawing Unleash The Beast bucker Timber Jam from seven-time and reigning PBR Canada Stock Contractor of the Year Nansen Vold, Buttar delivered a ride many won’t soon forget in Round 1.
Matching the powerful red-and-white bull jump for jump, Buttar reached the whistle for a monstrous 90 points, taking to the back of the chutes to celebrate as the raucous crowd erupted in cheer.
As action continued in Round 2, Buttar next faced State Law.
Again reaching the requisite 8, Buttar was scored 89.5 points for his qualified ride aboard the striking black bovine, winning the round and extending his lead in Pool A.
While Round 3 on July 11 went to the bulls, with every rider registering a buckoff, including Buttar who was dispatched by Devils Child.
Buttar found his name across from that of Jack The Ripper’s in the 4th draw.
The 28-year-old concluded the opening rounds of the 2021 Calgary Stampede in successful fashion, covering Jack The Ripper for 83.5 points to finish second in Round 4 and win Pool A.
Buttar advanced to Showdown Sunday on July 18, when the Top 10 bull riders duked it out for the title of 2021 Calgary Stampede Champion.
Okotoks’ bull-rider Jordan Hansen won the $50,000 Calgary Stampede payday, being the only cowboy to ride.
