ALICE Springs rider Tom Willoughby will be one of the favourites for the bull ride at the Warwick Rodeo in Queensland on October 24-27.
Formerly from Gawler in South Australia, Willoughby qualified for the National Finals Rodeo for a third time in June.
Willoughby is currently sixth on the bull ride standings after the first five months of the new Australian Professional Rodeo Association season.
He moved up the standings after winning the bull ride at Katherine and Darwin rodeos in August.
Willoughby scored 78 to win at Darwin from runner up Kurt Sheppard, of Atherton, in Queensland. Mark Lamberth , of Humpty Doo, finished third.
The Alice Springs cowboy is 15th in all around cowboy standings in the APRA.
