Reckon you can go eight seconds on the back of this monster?
If it turns out you can, you’ll be $1000 richer next Friday night at the Killarney Show.
The feature bull of the 2018 Show is ‘Stormboy’ – one of legendary rodeo contractor Frank Biddle’s finest – and he’s unridden after three years on the Professional Bull Riders Circuit.
Warwick real estate agent Stuart Bond put up a sponsorship of $1000 in prize money for the bull ride at the Allora Show last weekend, where Stormboy made his most recent appearance.
Weipa cowboy Matt Bee came close to cleaning up the cash – he managed to stay on Stormboy for 7.78 seconds, and it doesn’t get much closer than that.
As a result, Stuart Bond decided to send his money Killarney’s way and rodeo fans and show-goers are in for a treat on the night of Friday 23 February.
Along with Stormboy, the 2018 Killarney Show will feature National Rodeo Association action on the Friday night from 5pm, including the ‘Border Region Buckle’ series.
Events will include a Novice Bull Ride, Barrel Racing, Junior Bull Ride, Junior Barrel Racing and Junior Steer and Poddy Ride.
Other highlights of the 2018 Killarney Show will be the Ute Muster, Demolition Derby, cattle dog trials, prime and stud cattle competitions, woodchop and the pavilion displays.
