EDUARDO APARECIDO TAKES HOME EVENT TITLE IN SALT LAKE CITY: Eduardo Aparecido went 3-for-3 to win PBR Salt Lake City. The Brazilian cowboy rode Off The Tracks for 87 points in Round 1 before covering Buckaroo for 86.5 points in the second round. Choosing Ricky Vaughn as his final animal athlete opponent, he again made the 8, this time for 90.25 points, to complete his perfect weekend and garner his first win of the season. Aparecido shot from No. 37 to No. 18 in the Unleash The Beast standings, and “Fast Eddy” attempts to keep it rolling on Lapua in Round 1 on Friday. 

Aparecido currently sits 341 points behind No. 1 Brady Fielder, who went 1-for-3 and finished eighth last weekend. The Aussie topped Dirty Dave for 88.5 points in Round 1 but was bucked off by Bamboozle in 3.82 seconds during Round 2 and in 7.7 seconds by Buck Nasty in his final out. He looks to extend his lead in the 2025 gold buckle race atop Time For Magic in the opening round in Indianapolis.
