In 1990 Sports Illustrated proclaimed, “At age 21, Ty Murray is the best danged rodeo cowboy of ‘em all.” Since then his single-minded dedication to solidifying that status has led to shattered records (and more than a few injuries), not only riding to the top of his field, but helping steadily build the mainstream popularity of rodeo. And compared to the greatest stars of other sports, Murray’s superior athletic ability, dedication and total concentration have given him the edge to compete in not just one, but three of the most risky rodeo events – bareback, saddle bronc, and bull riding – dominating all three “rough-stock” disciplines with the singular heart of a champion.
