PUEBLO, Colo. - The Professional Bull Riders Touring Pro Division will return to Oregon this weekend for the US Bank Pendleton PBR Classic.

The second TPD stop this season in Pendleton will kick off the historic Pendleton Round-Up on Monday and Tuesday. Bull riding begins at 8 p.m. each night at the famous Happy Canyon Arena. Tickets are available at www.Ticketmaster.com and by telephone at (800) 457-6336.

The TPD gives riders the opportunity to compete in PBR-sanctioned events while earning money to qualify for the nationally-televised BFTS, which is comprised of the Top 35 bull riders in the world. Every five events on the BFTS, the Top 5 riders (based on money earned) from the TPD are allowed to move into the BFTS.

The BFTS features the world's best and highest-paid bull riders competing against the fiercest bucking bulls on the planet. The TPD allows established veterans and newcomers alike the opportunity to compete against some of the world's best bucking bulls.

The BFTS is televised every week on CBS, CBS Sports Network, NBC, NBC Sports Network and YouTube. BFTS telecasts are produced for the PBR under a multi-year agreement with David Neal Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company led by 34-time Emmy® Award winner and Peabody Award winner David Neal, who serves as executive producer.
