Ty Murray Inventational PBR from Albuquerque, NM

Well the first night of the Ty Murray Invitational is now in the books. This three day event takes the first day to showcase the other great athletes of the PBR. The great American Bucking Bull! With the ABBI bringing in the classic bulls for the show, it proved to be a show stopper!

Led by Julio Moreno's T11 Troubadour who scored a whopping 90.5, the bulls only had a 15 hitter! More than 2/3Rd's of all riders hit the ground! While many riders were late arriving in Albuquerque because of Tornado's in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. There were plenty of young local riders who tried to put their skills to the test against these great young four legged superstars.

Not all riders faired so poorly though. McKennon Wimberly led most of the round with an early 86.75 on Razzle Dazzle until changes in the leader board came in rapid succession at the end of the night. First Scott Schiffner from Strathmore, AB, CN took the lead with an 87.5 only to watch it disappear a few rides later when Kasey Hayes of Liberal, KS took over with an 89.25 only to watch it disappear on the next ride when Kody Lostroh of neighboring Colorado spurred out an 89.5
