NOTES: The bull riders started 0 for 7 before Fred Boettcher notched a 76-point ride. ... Seven-time world champion Dan Mortensen placed fifth in the saddle bronc riding with 79.5 points. He received a standing ovation from some in the crowd, while others booed when the score was announced. After sitting out most of 2007, Mortensen is competing full-time again for 2008. ... Four-time world champion Marvin Garrett took a nasty fall off bareback horse Grated Coconut and was motionless on the arena floor for a few minutes. He was helped out of the arena and recovered nicely, later walking around the bucking chutes while sipping a cup of coffee. ... The increasingly popular event drew cowboys from three countries - United States, Canada and Australia - and 19 states.
