Texas Rattlers Ride Out of Fort Collins as PBR Teams’ Lone Undefeated Squad

FORT COLLINS, Colorado — Hold onto your hats, rodeo fans: the Texas Rattlers came charging out of the chutes in Fort Collins and left Canvas Stadium as the only unbeaten team in the PBR Teams league.

Texas defeated the Austin Gamblers 265.55-257.45 on Sunday, powered by Jean Carlos Teodoro’s 90.4-point ride aboard Yosemite Sam. The Rattlers finished the season-opening weekend with a 2-0 record, while eight teams split their games at 1-1.

Rattlers stand alone after season-opening shootout

Head coach Cody Lambert’s crew went 6-for-10 over the weekend and delivered a second 90-point ride in as many nights.

Brady Fielder opened Sunday’s Texas Cup showdown with 88.3 points on Fringe Minority. Daniel Keeping followed with 86.85 aboard Bruised Ashes, giving the Rattlers an early lead.
Then Teodoro stepped into the fourth frame for his season debut and lit up the scoreboard. His 90.4-point ride on Yosemite Sam was the first 90-point score of his PBR Teams career and ultimately proved to be the game-winner.

Austin stayed right on the Rattlers’ heels. Sage Steele Kimzey scored 83.4 on Short Fire, 2018 PBR world champion Kaique Pacheco posted 87.55 on Sava, and three-time world champion Jose Vitor Leme added 86.5 on Pretty Boy.

But when the gate closed on the final out, Texas had an 8.10-point victory and the top spot in the standings.
