The 2nd Annual Boyd Gaming Cinch Chute Out Is In The Books

Over the past two days, 75 cowboys and cowgirls have competed here at the Orleans Hotel and Casino Arena for their chance to partake in today’s events.  The Boyd Gaming Cinch Chute Out has reached its final performance for the 2016 edition and will crown champions at the end of it all.  Today six of the eight contestants in each event, those that had the highest scores or fastest runs, were invited to compete in the Chute Out portion of this very unique event.

Today’s recap will feature those that have made it to today’s round as part of the top six that performed well enough to participate in today’s festivities.  In each of the seven events we will feature only the winning photo of the ride or run since our time was cut short to record and video interviews due to the WNFR start time.  We work hard to give you all a chance to get to know your cowboys and cowgirls a little bit better but we apologize for not being able to grab any video interviews, although, we did our best to grab as many of the 2016 Boyd Gaming Cinch Chute Out champion photos as we could!

Once the opening ceremonies drew to a close it was time to meet the top six contestants in each event that qualified for the Chute Out rounds here today.  In the bareback riding we were honored to see Mason Clements, Shane O’Connell, Casey Breuer, Bill Tutor, Casey Colletti and Bobby Mote compete for the championship title.  That being said before we could crown a champion we would have to widdle the field of six down to three for the final battle.

In the championship round three cowboys, Bobby Mote, Casey Colletti and Casey Breuer went head to head to see who would be the lone man standing on top of the mountain once all the rides were completed.  The action packed round that included three of the rankest bucking horses that are not across town lit up the arena as they gave the cowboys all that they could handle.  Once all was said and done it would be Bobby Mote who would take home $10,000 cash and the title or Bareback Champion after a huge 87 point ride.  I was able to catch up with him to see what he had to say about this weekend’s event and to see what he was going to do with all the cash he has in his pocket after the 2016 win.

The classic event of saddle bronc riding was next on the agenda and was sure to put on a show for all of the fans inside of the Orleans Hotel and Casino Arena.  Today’s final round of six was filled with past Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifiers and definitely lived up to the hype that all those in attendance expected.  The six that would wow the crowd would be Chet Johnson, Wade Sundell, Jesse Bail, Chad Ferley, Cort Scheer and Cole Elshere.  Once the six competed it was time to look ahead to the championship round of three that would advance.

The final three competing at the championship round filled the star-studded line-up that all those here were hoping and expecting it to be.  This afternoon, after the final horse bucked, it was one man, Cort Scheer, that would stand above all others to claim the event championship title and the $10,000 to go along with it with a 90 point ride.  I was able to catch up with the man himself after his run to see what he has to say about the Boyd Gaming and Cinch folks paying all of the winnings in CASH and how he expects to spend it out here in Las Vegas.
