Keny Roger de Oliveira and Ky Borghero shared top honours at the 2026 Caboolture Invitational on Saturday night, each going 2-for-2 in front of a packed crowd at the Queensland State Equestrian Centre.
Both riders picked up their third PBR Australia Tour wins of the season, finishing tied on a total score of 167.10 points.
Oliveira started his night with a workmanlike 80.50-point ride on Battle of the Roan (Ruhland Ranch Bucking Bulls). The Sao Paulo bull rider made light work of the bull after it turned back into his hand, finishing Round 1 in eighth place.
The 33-year-old drafted Mooseys Moto Moto (MJ/Keliher Bucking Bulls/McGuire) in the Championship Round and made no mistakes, capitalising on the bull turning back to the left and into his hand to post 86.60 points. Oliveira became only the second rider to cover the bull in his twenty-nine trips in PBR Australia competition and finished second in the round.
Borghero began his event with an 81.30-point ride on Harley Boy (MJ/Keliher Bucking Bulls), finishing sixth in the opening round. The 21-year-old stuck on solidly after the bull followed the gate, spinning to the right initially before reversing into his hand in the closing seconds.
The Proserpine young gun confidently picked Mr T (Dittmann Bucking Bulls) in the Championship Round draft, and the bull delivered his customary trip to the right with excellent timing. Borghero maintained strong position, riding away from his hand, and countered the bull’s late reversal to the left, scoring 85.80 points for a top-three round finish.
Oliviera picked up $5,1000 in prizemoney, while Borghero added $4,800 to his season total.

Fourth place went to Luke Parkinson, who converted a favourable matchup against Roam Aviation Without Warning (Dunne Bulls) into the Round 1 win. The Denman talent collected maximum points with an excellent 86.40-point ride after the bull turned right and into his riding hand.
