March 1, 2010 Welcome to March everyone. February was a good month for me winning the prestigious San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and a paycheck totaling $17,112. San Antonio is definitely a rodeo you want to win and I am glad things came together for that win. Now it is on to RodeoHouston and hopefully another big win. As many of you probably guessed I was aboard Willy for the win in San Antonio. That horse is just amazing and I am happy to be able to ride him. Actually in the final round in San Antonio there were three of us riding Willy. The three were Cody Cassidy, Dean Gorsuch and myself. I was second in the final round with Cody tied for third but in the overall money standings I finished atop the leaderboard, while Cody was third. After San Antonio, I headed to Tucson, Ariz., for La Fiesta de los Vaqueros. Although things didn’t go that well there my wife Lindsay and my little man Cade came over to see me, which was great. Although there were some rainy days while we were in Arizona, I enjoyed being with them. I also competed in Scottsdale, Ariz., in the steer wrestling and team roping but didn’t place in the money. After I was done in Scottsdale, I loaded up in my new Dodge truck, which I won a yearlong lease last year at the DNCFR, and headed to the finals in San Angelo, Texas. Lindsay and Cade headed back to California. I didn’t have any luck in the finals and finished out of the money. I did place second in the third round winning $1,778 to add to my 2010 season total. Now I am in Houston ready for the first three rounds which get underway for me tomorrow (March 2). I will update my schedule page with the results. The other big news is that I have officially joined the Facebook nation as well as Twitter, so look for me there. I am in the process of getting links added to my site for both but until then either visit www.facebook.com or www.twitter.com and search for Luke Branquinho on both. I had refused for years but finally decided it was the way of the world so I might as well. We will see how it goes. Thanks for visiting. Until next time, Luke Two-time PRCA World Champion Steer Wrestler February 6, 2010 Just a quick update for everyone out in internet land. So far this year I have competed in Denver and Rapid City but didn’t have any luck at either of those. I am finally having a little luck in Ft. Worth and will be back for the final round on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 7), so hopefully I can pick up a nice check there. With San Antonio and Houston right around the corner I am hoping to get it together so I can cash in big at both events. Be sure to keep an eye on my schedule to see where I will be next and how I have done. Some big news it seems that I have failed to post here is that my wife, Lindsay and I are expecting our second child in July. I know good timing right? We are both very excited to add another little one to our family as Cade as been a true blessing. He is always doing something cute and making us laugh or smile. As soon as we find out what we will be having I will try to let everyone know. The other big news is that I have officially joined the Facebook nation as well as Twitter, so look for me there. I am in the process of getting links added to my site for both but until then either visit www.facebook.com or www.twitter.com and search for Luke Branquinho on both. I had refused for years but finally decided it was the way of the world so I might as well. We will see how it goes. I would like to welcome my newest sponsor Boyd Gaming. I looked forward to a great partnership with them for years to come. Well that about covers the news I have for now. Hopefully I will be writing soon about some big wins. Until next time, Luke Two-time PRCA World Champion Steer Wrestler |
