Over the past season he has competed in Saddle Bronc everywhere from Darwin where he came 1st and Mount Isa, as well as locally where he came 2nd at Jindabyne and Moruya and 3rd at Goulburn and Queanbeyan.
Wade came into the lead before Easter with a 1st at Camden and a 2nd at Yass, and more recently a 1st at Lightning Ridge and a 3rd at Brewarrina.
