The Reno Rodeo was dominated by Chase Dougherty, who won Red Bluff on Flying U’s Bad Habits with an 88-point ride in the first performance.
Hutchings provided the first 90+ point ride of any event. Hutchings said, “He’s a little whippy and he was really good, Reno has done a good job of really upping their bull program. I love getting on Reno’s bulls, they won Red Bluff on him, so I knew I had a good draw.”
It was his second ride of 90 or more this month, the first being his solitary win of June at the Parker County Xtreme Bulls.
Hutchings’ ride not only puts him in position for the Round 1 win, but also in charge of the bull riding for the whole rodeo as it is won on a two-head Average. The PRCA’s No. 10 bull rider will lead by 2.5 points going into the Short Round if the scores stand.

Legendary Bull rider J.B. Mauney announces retirement Days after breaking neck in Lewiston Roundup
Just one week after fracturing his neck in the Lewiston Roundup, famed bull rider J.B. Mauney declared his retirement on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old Charlotte, North Carolina, resident Mauney posted on Instagram that he had to have a disk removed during surgery at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston. “I would like to thank everyone for taking care of me; the surgery went very well,” Mauney stated.
“Sadly, the surgery put a stop to my bull riding career. I just wanted everyone to know that I’m doing fine and am currently moving toward my recovery.
At an Xtreme Bulls event in Lewiston, Mauney was injured when he fell on his head following a blowout by Sankey Pro Rodeo & Phenom Genetics’ Arctic Assassin. He took home PBR world titles in both 2013 and 2015. “Though everything happens for a reason, this is not how I wanted to go out,” Mauney wrote.
