Thought you all might like to see what's going on this weekend in NYC in conjunction with the PBR.

PUEBLO, Colo. (January 7, 2009) - New York City … the city that never sleeps.

The Big Apple is the media capital of the world, so it’s no surprise that with the Built Ford Tough Invitational starting Friday night at famed Madison Square Garden, the PBR is receiving an extraordinary amount of exposure this week.

Several of the Top 45 riders in the world are already in New York.

Reese Cates, the 2008 Daisy Rookie of the Year, wrote in his weekly blog – posted here on www.pbrnow.com – that that he’ll be making an appearance tonight at The Garden during an NHL game featuring the Montreal Canadiens and the hometown Rangers.

Tomorrow morning Cates will join Randy Bernard and J.B. Mauney in ringing the opening bell of the New York Stock exchange.

The 21-year-old from Arkansas is also appearing on the Rachael Ray Show along with Cord McCoy and Luke Snyder, who was the subject of a feature story in The New York Times that appeared on the cover of the sports section.

Cates so impressed producers of Ray’s show during a pre-taping in Baltimore that “producers called [him] to come in early to record some extra stuff.

“Between going to Rachael’s show and the Rangers game, that’s pretty exciting,” continued Cates, who until now has never been to New York City. “The game is a pretty cool deal because I’ll get a feel for what Madison Square Garden is like with that much energy in it.”

Earlier this week, the Sports Museum of America (26 Broadway) unveiled a display dedicated to the PBR that featured memorabilia from Michael Gaffney and Chris Shivers, among others.

In addition to the pre-event festivities, www.espn.com is planning daily coverage of the three-day event.

During a PBR podcast posted earlier today at www.pbr.tv, Melanie Jarrett, associate editor of ESPN’s bull riding page, said, “We’re sending a team of writers to New York to cover the event.”

The second event of the 2009 season can be seen this weekend on Versus at 8 p.m. EST on both Saturday and Sunday night.
