Cole Reiner breaks through in finals to win Darby Xtreme Bareback.

Bareback rider Cole Reiner has qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo four times and finished as high as fifth in the PRCA | RAM World Standings. 

But he'd never recorded a 92-point ride, until Sunday during Darby (Mont.) Xtreme Bareback.

The 25-year-old from Buffalo, Wyo., did enough to advance out of the sectional round and drew Pickett Pro Rodeo's Night Crawler, the 2023 Pendleton Whisky Let 'er Buck Bareback  Horse of the Year in the finals.

Reiner made the most of his opportunity on the familiar bucking horse with a 92-point ride to claim the top spot and $13,335 at Richard Cromwell Memorial Rodeo Grounds.

"I could've been at 93 (points) and beaten Kaycee (Feild) on her but no big deal," Reiner joked. "Anytime you're at 90 it's a ride that you'll remember. But to go 92 in that arena where there have been some really huge scores and to be in there with the rest of them is something you'll remember. And that's my highest score so far."

Reiner finished fifth in section three with an 87.5-point ride to qualify for the finals.

Reiner has reached the short round every time he's competed in Darby, but knew he had a shot to finish with a buckle when he drew Night Crawler. He won the short-go at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo on the same horse in February.

"That horse is great but you have to do your job too," Reiner said. "I was definitely a lot more calm during the short round than the first round. I was keeping everything calm, cool and together. I was a little less excited and a little more focused."

Reiner bumped up to 12th in the world standings with $48,504 after his five-figure payday in the Treasure State.

He said the win moved him back into the mix for a fifth-straight trip to Las Vegas and set him up nicely ahead of the summer run.

"Anytime you win a dollar it helps but when you can win $10,000 or $13,000 at a time it takes a little bit of pressure off in the summer time," Reiner said. "We get to pick and choose our rodeos anyway but this really helps entering rodeos and going to get on horses I want to get on."

Kade Berry finished second in the event with a 91.5-point ride in the finals and an 88.5-point ride in section three to earn $11,175. 

R.C. Landingham finished third with a 91-point ride in the short-go and an 86.5-point ride in section two to earn $7,106.

"Kade Berry went out (in the finals) and made a really good ride for a 91.5. Then R.C. Landingham and Kennan Hayes came out in the 90s also," Reiner said. "So I still had to show off out there to beat those guys."

Reiner plans to compete in a few more rodeos in June, including the Elizabeth (Colo.) Stampede, before hitting the ground running starting at the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo, June 20-29.

"I'll go to Elizabeth because it's one of my favorite little circuit rodeos," he said. "Summit Pro Rodeo hosts its and I've been getting on their horses since I started. It's always one that I like to go to and I've had really good luck there before. Then we'll start easing our way toward Reno."
