CALDWELL, Idaho (Aug. 17, 2019) – If a script had been written for the conclusion of the Caldwell Night Rodeo, it couldn’t have played out any better than the actual competition on Saturday night.

It started with outstanding bareback riding where four-time and world standings leader Kaycee Feild tied for the arena record. Feild rode the Northcott & Macza horse named Spilled Perfume for 91 points to win the final round and the overall title. His total of 180 points on two rides is the highest on record here and added $8,702 to his earnings.

Feild won the championship here in 2012, a year after he won his first of four consecutive world titles. He qualified for his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 2008 and has competed at rodeo’s championships nine times. The most recent of those was last December.

He started off this year with a big win at RodeoHouston last March. Then while competing in Austin, Texas, he was injured sustaining facial and skull fractures. He returned to competition over the Fourth of July and won his first rodeo back at Mandan, North Dakota.

Feild has been in the lead of the world standings for most of the year and helped his quest to remain number one in Caldwell. The man behind him there also finished second here, Clayton Biglow, from Clements, California.

In the saddle bronc riding, a win here could have a big impact on Mitch Pollock’s season. Pollock, from Winnemucca, Nevada was 18^th in the world standings before he rode here. The top 15 at the end of September qualify for the NFR and Pollock needed a big win to move him in the standings.

He won the first round here with a 90-point ride, then came back and won the overall title with 176.5 points on two head. The $7,156 he won here should move him into the top 15 and give him an opportunity to compete in Las Vegas in December for the first time.

Pollock grew up in Nevada, but after coming to college in Idaho he has made the Twin Falls area his home. He had a lot of friends and fans that got to watch him make his victory laps around the arena and now they are all hoping to see him compete in Las Vegas.

A world champion bucking bull was the superstar here on Saturday. Powder River Rodeo’s Sweet Pro’s Bruiser had a much-anticipated match up with Challis, Idaho, resident Ruger Piva. Piva not only made it to the whistle, he scored 92-points and won the rodeo adding nearly $8,000 to his earnings.

Piva could also be headed to his first NFR thanks to the Caldwell championship. He was 17^th in the world standings and with the money he won here, he should move into the top 15. This year’s rodeo had a total payout of $327,501.

Plans are underway for the 86^th Caldwell Night Rodeo. More information is available at www.caldwellnightrodeo.com.
