Jake Orman’s second-round, 4.2-second run sealed the deal, however, putting him third in the go, worth a critical $860 to keep him firmly ahead of Cory Kidd, who had the best chance of unseating him after No. 16-man Derrick Begay ran out of rodeos. Orman, 31, of Prairie, Mississippi, enters the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo with season-long partner Brye Crites with $85,067.18 won on the year.

We’ll release the official rundown of NFR partnership pairings in the coming days, but with long-time past partners Chad Masters and Joseph Harrison and the one-time San Antonio champ pairing of Lightning Aguilera and Jonathan Torres being the two odd teams out, these partnerships will likely decide themselves.
