Ryder Sanford is Bound for the Semifinals in Fort Worth

An 86-point ride clinches Ryder Sanford a spot in the Semifinals at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo

An 86-point ride on Andrews Rodeo’s Cracker Jack in Round 2 of Bracket 3 clinched Ryder Sanford a spot in the Semifinals at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

“When I saw him by my name I was really excited, he set the arena record in Abilene, Kanasas so I knew he’d do his job,” Stanford said.

Sanford secured the Resistol Saddle Bronc Riding Rookie of the Year Title in 2023 and is carrying that momentum into his second year in professional rodeo.

Sanford progresses from Bracket 3 alongside National Finals Rodeo qualifier Mitch Pollock, both making their comeback in the Semifinals to compete for a spot in the Short-Go.
