Idle cowboy's record in this Wild West show? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rodeo

'wild west show?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "Cattle round-up" , "Wild West contest" , "Annually" , "A bunch of cowboys, showing" , "show with mounting excitement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
