Whitehorse Lights Up Albuquerque With 361.90 as PBR Stretch Run Gets Western

Now that was a rodeo roar worth remembering

Keyshawn Whitehorse kicked the chutes wide open in Albuquerque, going 4-for-4 and piling up a winning aggregate of 361.90 points to capture the 2026 PBR Albuquerque Ty Murray Invitational. The Navajo Nation rider delivered three rides of 90 points or better, then stomped an exclamation mark on the weekend with a 90.75-point championship-round ride on Lights Out. For fans who like their bull riding loud, fast and full of thunder, this one had it all.

Whitehorse posts the biggest scores in the house

Whitehorse did not just win — he put on a clinic. He opened with 89.4 points, followed that with 90.15, then punched in a season-high 91.6 in Round 3 before sealing the buckle with 90.75 in the final round. Add it up and the man from McCracken Spring, Utah, rode out of The Pit with 361.90 aggregate points and 191 Unleash The Beast points. That leap pushed him from No. 20 to No. 9 in the world standings.
He was one of three riders to go a perfect 4-for-4 over the weekend, but he was the only rider to stack three 90-point rides in the event. That is how you turn heads, cash cheques and make the rest of the field look over its shoulder.

Montanha and Mitchell stay perfect too

Claudio Montanha Jr. made plenty of noise of his own, finishing second with 355.30 points after going 4-for-4. His best shot came in the championship round, where he marked 90.2 aboard Bowser. Bob Mitchell also stayed perfect all weekend and took third at 350.90. In a game where one mistake can buck a rider right out of the money, both men showed the kind of consistency that keeps a season alive.

Title race scores: Crimber still leads the pack

Even with Whitehorse stealing the spotlight, John Crimber still rides into the next stop wearing the No. 1 badge. Crimber sits atop the 2026 Unleash The Beast standings with 703 points, holding a 47-point lead over Sage Steele Kimzey at 656. The rest of the top 10 now looks like this:
John Crimber — 703
Sage Steele Kimzey — 656
Leandro Zampollo — 595.5
Brady Fielder — 593
Paulo Eduardo Rossetto — 492
Dalton Kasel — 488.5
Alex Cerqueira — 450.5
Clay Guiton — 409.5
Keyshawn Whitehorse — 405
Cort McFadden — 392
Crimber went 1-for-3 in Albuquerque and posted 88.5 points in Round 3. Kimzey, meanwhile, came up empty at 0-for-3, and that left the leader with a little more daylight as the tour barrels toward the final three regular-season events before the World Finals in Fort Worth.

Other big rides and where the tour heads next

Brady Fielder kept himself right in the hunt with a championship-round-winning 91.15 on Tigger, while three-time world champion Jose Vitor Leme finished fifth overall and climbed from No. 36 to No. 27 in the standings. Leandro Zampollo’s 89.8 in the final round helped him finish sixth and hold onto No. 3 in the season race.
On the bull side, Buck Nasty, Pegasus and Fire Zone each turned in 46-point efforts in the championship round to share Bull of the Event honours, while Pegasus emerged as the new No. 1 bull in the YETI Bull of the Year race.
Next stop: Sioux Falls, S.D., from April 10 to 12. And after the way Whitehorse lit up Albuquerque, you can bet the rest of the field will be listening for that chute gate and wondering who is about to bring the next storm.
