MILWAUKEE – In front of a sold-out, Saturday night crowd in Milwaukee, Kaique Pacheco (Itatiba, Brazil) continued to ride red hot, delivering a monster 90-point ride to win Round 1 of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Unleash The Beast’s PBR Milwaukee.

For the second consecutive week, Pacheco won Round 1 of the Unleash The Beast event after earning a re-ride and teaming with his second bovine athlete opponent, Mike’s Motive (Blake Sharp/High Voltage/Wetzel/Knott), for a mammoth 90-point score.
After dominating the first night of Jacksonville with a 90.5-point score, 2018 PBR World Champion Pacheco, who rides for the Austin Gamblers in the separate PBR Teams League, registered a 90.25-point score Saturday evening inside the home of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks in Wisconsin.
Pacheco’s latest round-winning score garnered him 29 Unleash The Beast points as he chases his second World Championship this May. Pacheco remained No. 8 in the world, now 284 points behind No. 1 Brady Fielder.
Should Pacheco remain atop the leaderboard when the dust settles on championship Sunday, the win would mark his third in Milwaukee amongst the six Unleash The Beast events ever held in the city.
Fielder finished 11th in Round 1 to remain atop the standings. He rode Easy Labor (Addi Drury/Nothin’ But Try Ranch) for 86.5 points to collect 9 Unleash The Beast points.
The Texas Rattler grew his lead over No. 2 John Crimber (Decatur, Texas) to 128.5 points.
The Florida Freedom’s Crimber, however, prevented Fielder from growing his lead by a greater margin by tying for 14th in Round 1. He rode Peterbilt (Blake Sharp/Michael Floyd/WSM Auctioneers) for 85.5 points, netting 8 Unleash The Beast points.
Pacheco, Fielder and Crimber were three of the 24 riders who converted in Round 1 of PBR Milwaukee. Going 24-for-40, the competing riders rode 60% of the evening’s bovine athlete opponents.
Returning to the top of the event leaderboard, Sage Steele Kimzey (Strong City, Oklahoma) and Elizmar Jeremias (Anapu, Brazil) tied for second, each logging an 89-point score to earn 17.5 Unleash The Beast points.
