The competition is for Open Bull Riders only and sees the running of four rounds of 10 bulls. 

At the end of the night judges select the top 10 best scoring riders for Round 5, of which the overall winner is selected.

Despite being a few names down the list in Round 4, Young’s Ben Thorpe broke out of the gates and things were looking good.

He was required to hold on for eight seconds in order to gain a qualifying score for Round 5. 

But alas, about seven seconds and the bull got the better of him.

Ben drew to ride a bull known  as “Infusion”.
