It would be the second night of the 2024 edition of the PBR Manchester Invitational from SNHU Arena and there would be a sell-out crowd in attendance with over 11 thousand western sports fans in attendance. It would be the 4th time the PBR would come to Manchester, New Hampshire and we would see if we could have our fourth different event winner. It would start with the 40 best cowboys in the world all getting a second chance to ride the eight seconds before they would bring back the top 12 for the championship round. When the dust settles there would be only three riders covering all three bulls on the weekend with Brady Fielder getting the best of them all with a 260.25 for the weekend rounding out the top three would be Kaique Pacheco second with 254.75 and Alan De Souza with 252.50. With Brady Fielder's win, it would be their first career win on the PBR Unleash the Beast Tour and the first win on the tour for anyone from Australia since 2015. With the win, Brady Fielder would move to the 4th spot in the world title chance chasing Cassio Dias as they will take a week off for the Christmas break before they head to Albany on December 29th and 20th to finish off the 2023 portion of the season as the road continues to the World Finals in Dallas, Texas, and ATT Stadium.

Casey Roberts would draw Country Club in the opening round and would be in perfect form for the first half of the ride but a tricky jump would send him to the dirt short of the 8 seconds and get no score. The Professional Bull Riders and the Unleash the Beast would pull into Manchester, New Hampshire, and the fourth stop on the 2024 tour with 40 of the best bull riders in the world for the fourth year in a row for the Manchester Invitational at the SNHU Arena. The first half of the night would be going the way of the Bulls as there would be only 4 qualified rides of the first 18 outs. The the second half of the night cowboys would get the upper hand on the Bulls as they would ride 11 out of the last 22 as we get to the best Cowboys in the world. There would be a few issues along the way as there would have to be six rides throughout the night. When the dust would settle on the opening night there would be a tie at the top of the pile with A pair of Brazilians Eduardo Aparecido and Felipe Furlan tied at 86.25 but the top 6 would only be separated by 2 with Silvano Alves, Jesse Petri, Lucas Divino, and Alan de Souza rounding it out for the night.

Brady Olsen would be stretched out over the back of Night Moves as he would ride him for an 87.5 ride good enough to make the final 12. It would be the championship night of the PBR's return to Albany, NY after a 14-year absence and the packed house would be treated to a great performance by the cowboys and bulls on the night. It would take a score of 87 to make the championship round, and ten riders would be perfect on the weekend headed into the championship round. In the championship round, Rafael Jose de Brito would have the first pick in the final 12 as he scored 176.25 and would take Top Dollar. In the championship round, there would be four qualified rides and the top score of the round and the weekend would go to Mason Taylor with 89.5 and an event total of 178.5 which would be good enough for fourth on the weekend. When the dust would settle on the weekend there would be three riders that would ride all three bulls with Andrew Alvidrez getting the win for the second event in a row with a score of 264.5 rounding out the top three would be Boudreaux Campbell 2nd with a 260.75 ad Silvano Alves with a 254. Next up will be the first major of the year as they head into New York City and Madison Square Gardens and the question going into the weekend is will Andrew Alvidrez make it three in a row as he looks to extend his lead as the top rider in the world on the PBR Unleash the Beast tour.
