A handful of local cowboys will put it on the line Saturday afternoon at the Calgary Stampede rodeo as they look for a spot in the finals during "Wildcard Saturday."

In bull riding a trio of cowboys from around these parts hope to put together the perfect eight seconds as Claresholm's Chad Besplug, Turner Valley's Tyler Thomson and Strathmore's Scott Schiffner would dearly love a chance at the $100,000 grand prize in Sundays finals.

Same story for Millarville saddle bronc rider Sam Kelts and Cayley's Matt Lait in bareback.

While Kole Ashbacher from Arrowwood will try to make his way to the finals in novice saddle bronc.
