Who Made The Most Money Per Second At San Antonio?

We all know that our cowboys and cowgirls work hard for their money, but who worked the hardest for that money at the $1.4M San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo?

Who Made The Most Money Per Second At San Antonio?

We all know that our cowboys and cowgirls work hard for their money, but after the grueling six rounds they all had to go to for the more than $1.4 million purse at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, we wanted to know who worked the hardest for their money. We’re all about obscure numbers here at FloRodeo, so we had a little fun calculating how many dollars each of the champions made per second of successful competition. 

So just who earned the most for every second they were strapped to the back of a bucking animal and blasting their way through a timed event run? For example, Orin Larsen and Hailey Kinsel took home the highest paydays of the rodeo with a total of $29,500 each, but did they earn the most per second of work?

The results may surprise you.
