B4 THE ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2019 Brazile wins seventh All-Around title at Pendleton Round-Up By BRETT KANE East Oregonian PENDLETON — Trevor Brazile has 24 PRCA world titles and more than $7 mil- lion in total career earnings. After Saturday, the Texas cowboy is a seven-time Pendleton Round-Up all- around champion. The King of the Cowboys placed second in calf roping and third in steer roping in the fi nal round for combined averages that earned him this year’s All-Around title. It’s an honor that Brazile, 42, has claimed six times previously. After besting his own Round-Up record, Bra- zile took the familiar vic- tory lap around the historic arena, greeted by the sounds of 17,000 thundering rodeo fans, and a congratulations over the stadium speak- ers from announcer Wayne Brooks: “The king is back in business.” It’s not often a retired cowboy wins the Round- Up’s most coveted title. Bra- zile announced his depar- ture from the rodeo circuit in December 2018, but con- fi rmed in July that he would return to the arena to com- pete after it was announced that he would be inducted into the Round-Up Hall of Fame. Brazile made the trip to Pendleton to attend the cer- emony last Sunday. “The Hall of Fame induc- tion brought me to this rodeo,” Brazile said, “and I fi gured if I was gonna come all the way up here, I’d bet- ter be entering it. It was an awesome trip.” Brazile’s seventh all- around title was capped off by a 10.1-second run during Saturday’s calf roping cham- pionships. Five other cow- boys had faster runs on the day, including Joey Dickens from Loveland, Colo., who ran an 8.9, but Brazile aver- aged 31.3 on three to fi nish second. Fellow Texan Landon McClaugherty of Tilden, had the hottest run of the day in steer roping at 16.9 sec- onds, but Brazile’s 21.3-sec- ond fi nish put him at 48 sec- onds, securing third place and the all-around victory. “There was nothing spec- tacular about either one,” Brazile said of his Saturday performances, “but I got the job done and accomplished what I came here to do.” Kim Ziegelgruber of Edmond, Okla., began the day with a 30.7-second aver- age on two head, and his 16.3-second fi nish put him at 47 seconds — just a step ahead of Brazile. “You never expect to win in rodeo,” Brazile said. “There are so many vari- ables, and the competition is so good. It’s never some- thing you take for granted, by any means. It’s great because you’re competing against younger and younger generations. I’ve met a lot of great competitors — a lot more than if my career had been cut any shorter.” Brazile is the No. 1-ranked steer roper in the PRCA world standings with $59,117 in earnings this year alone. Brazile won his fi rst Round-Up all-around title in 1999, where he also claimed the calf roping title. “If you’ve never been to the Round-Up, you wouldn’t understand,” he said. “You gotta be here to really know what they mean when they say ‘Let ‘er Buck.’” Brazile’s seventh all- around trophy came with $14,131, a custom saddle, hat, boots, jacket and several other one-of-a-kind items. Despite all the glory, a career revival isn’t on Bra- zile’s agenda. After his stay in Pendleton, he’ll return home to Decatur to turn his focus back toward raising his family. “My family has rodeoed with me my whole career,” he said. “My kids are get- ting old enough that I’ve had my time, and it’s time for me to go help them reach their dreams.” Trevor Brazile poses with the Let’er Buck Trophy he received on Saturday after winning All- Around Champion Cowboy at the Pendleton Round-Up for the seventh time.
