Barrel Racer Brandon Cullins Wins $1 Million At The American Rodeo ARLINGTON, TEXAS. (March 9, 2024) – As the intense action came to a close inside Globe Life Field at The American Rodeo, owned by Teton Ridge on Saturday, March 9, barrel racer Brandon Cullins swept the competition in the Contender field – earning the biggest single-day payout of his career. Hailing from Dublin, TX, Cullins is no stranger to the largest stage in western sports, having made his way into the qualifying field for the fifth time. As the first male winner of the barrel racing discipline at the Crown Jewel of Rodeo, the well-known futurity derby trainer was paired with equine athlete “MJ Segers Fast Lane.” The duo have been competing together since 2022 and already earned more than $300,000. Celebrating its 11th year, The American Rodeo features competitors in all eight traditional rodeo disciplines: barrel racing, breakaway roping, steer wrestling, team roping (heading and healing), tie down roping, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. Fans could root for the underdog “Contenders” chasing a $1 million bonus or the professional athletes defending their champion status in the ultimate high-stakes showdown. Other champions from The American Rodeo 2023 included: Creek Young (bull riding); Shad Mayfield (Tie Down); J.D.Struxness (Steer Wrestling); Sage Newman (Saddle Bronc); Luke Brown and Hunter Koch (Tem Roping); Sarah Angelone (Breakaway) and Kade Sonnier (Bareback). Closing out the high-energy night of top tier western sports, Brandon Cullins won the Crown Jewel of Rodeo and $1.1 million at The American Rodeo. Brandon was riding MJ Segers Fast Lane to win the barrel racing. As a “contender” who won their event, he was awarded $100,000 plus the million dollar bonus. – Photo courtesy of Teton Ridge ROPERS SPORTS NEWS www.roperssportsnews.com Ropers Sports News (USPS 701920) is published monthly for $25 per year by Ropers Sports News, 24060 N.
