Trevor Brazile left no do doubt who the PRCA’s best steer roper was in 2014.
The legendary cowboy won one round and placed second in five others to capture his record 20th gold buckle Nov. 7-8 at the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping at the Kansas Star Arena.
“I came here to win a championship and it is all special,” Brazile said.
Brazile won $43,858 at the NFSR to win the season title with a single-season steer roping record of $112,692. Brazile eclipsed the old record of $101,685 set by Rocky Patterson in 2010.
Brazile has now won five gold buckles in steer roping in 2006, 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2014. That puts him third place all time in the steer roping gold-buckle list behind only Guy Allen (18) and Everett Shaw (6).
Chet Herren finished second in the 2014 world standings with $72,191.
For good measure, Brazile also took home the average crown with a new record time of 114.1 seconds on 10 head. Patterson set the previous average record at 114.5 seconds on 10 head in 2001. J.P. Wickett was second in the average at 126.30 seconds, and was the only roper besides Brazile to stop the clock 10 times. The main drama Brazile faced in Round 10 was trying to set the NFSR average record. He needed a 10.9-second run to tie Patterson’s average mark.
Brazile had a bobble, but still recorded a 10.5-second run to set the new mark. Brazile also increased his number of National Finals go-round wins to 57 in team roping, tie-down roping and steer roping. Brazile also has won 31 rounds in steer roping, which puts him behind only Allen (47)...
