The Music City Rodeo paid out nearly $300,000 and wrapped up Saturday with a fresh group of winners across the board.

Kody Lamb delivered the best ride of his season, matching a season-high 88.5 points on Watermelon Moons to earn his first victory of 2026. He edged Keenan Hayes and Luke Thrash, who each scored 88 points.

Tucker Allen and Cash Robb traded blows all weekend, even splitting the Second Round with matching 3.9-second runs. In the end, Robb got the better of Allen in the Average, finishing 13.6 seconds on three head to Allen’s 13.8. Shane Frey posted the fastest run of the rodeo with a 3.8-second Round 1 win.

Jake Smith and Douglas Rich opened the weekend with a 4.5-second Round One victory and held on to win the Average by one-tenth of a second at 15.1 seconds on three head.

Shorty Garret produced his highest-marked ride in nearly four years, spurring Smith Pro Rodeos’ Angel Cat for 91.5 points and his first win of the season. Stetson Wright finished second with 89.5 points and added more ground in the World Standings race.

Cole Clemons dominated the tie-down roping, winning the Average by more than a second with a three-head total of 26.7 seconds. Marcus Costa finished second at 28.1, while Joel Harris posted the fastest single run of the rodeo with a 7.7-second Round 2 victory.

Carlee Otero swept the barrel racing, winning both rounds and the Average. Her times of 17.03 and 13.08 seconds earned her nearly $9,700. Mackenzie Mayes and Alishea Broussard rounded out the Top 3.

Tristan Mize picked up his fourth rodeo victory of the season with an 88-point ride aboard Corn Palace.

The biggest storyline of the weekend came in the bull riding, where No. 2-ranked All-Around cowboy Wacey Schalla suffered a broken left femur in a wreck. Schalla underwent successful surgery Sunday and is expected to face a recovery of approximately three months.

For the second consecutive year, Stetson Wright claimed the Music City Rodeo All-Around title, earning nearly $12,000.
