CALGARY, Alta.  –  As the Cody Snyder Charity Bullbustin’ got underway Tuesday evening in Calgary, Alberta, Australian sensation Callum Miller (Warwick, Queensland, Australia) rode supreme, winning the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada Touring Pro Division event at Grey Eagle Resort and Casino.

Earning 38 national points, Miller rose from unranked to No. 29 in the Canadian standings.

Atop the race for the 2025 PBR Canada Championship, and accompanying $100,000 bonus, No. 4 Cody Coverchuk (Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan) finished third to gain ground in the standings.

The two-time PBR Canada Champion rode Carved In Stone (Vold Rodeo/Sure Fire Bucking Bulls) for 86 points, collecting 18 national points.

While Coverchuk remained No. 4 in Canada, he inched within 375.17 points of No. 1 Dakota Buttar.

Buttar, No. 2 Jake Gardner (Fort St. John, British Columbia) and No. 3 Jared Parsonage (Maple Creek, Saskatchewan) were all bucked off as the Cody Snyder Charity Bullbustin’ began.

Returning to the top of the event leaderboard, the Missouri Thunder’s Andrew Alvidrez (Seminole, Texas) was second.

Alvidrez netted 28 national points for his 89-point effort on Write This Down (Thompson Rodeo Livestock), propelled from unranked to No. 31 in Canada.

Ezekiel Mitchell (Rockdale, Texas) was fourth.

The Texas Rattler parlayed an 85.5-point ride atop Dealing Atter Midnight (Thompson Rodeo Livestock) into 15 national points.

Also unranked prior to Tuesday night’s event, Mitchell climbed to No. 37 in the Canadian standings.

Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Jerson Arantes (Paranaiba, Brazil).

Arantes made the requisite 8 on Brimstone (Skori Bucking Bulls) for 85 points. Garnering 13 national points, the surging Brazilian rose one spot in the Canadian standings from No. 21 to No. 20.
