Brian Canter Takes Omaha Classic Championship

When the dust settled in Omaha’s Qwest Center it was Brian Canter (Randleman, N.C.) who conquered the previously unridden bull Hot Stuff of D&H Cattle Company’s to win stop No. 16 on the Professional Bull Riders’ (PBR) Built Ford Tough Series presented by Wrangler (BFTS). The Omaha Classic, held April 11-12, featured the top 45 bull riders in the world facing off against the baddest bucking bulls in the business for a shot at the prestigious title. Thanks to the electrifying match up against Hot Stuff in the Built Ford Tough Championship round, Canter, 20, cashed in to the tune of $35,771 and took the title by a decisive margin of 10.25 points over runner up Austin Meier (Kinta, Okla.).
