 Well folks, it's the second final of the 2017 NCHA Lucas Oil Superstakes and tonight it was the older horses showing what they know in the open classic final. The man of the moment was Bo Galleon who rode metallic rebel and scored an exciting 229. Congratulations to you Bo. Thank you very much. So tell us, describe to us what does it feel like to be the classic champion. Feels really good. Really good. I'm glad to see you too. You said that you had a good feeling tonight it was going to come together. How do you make that happen? That was probably the one thing of why it hadn't happened yet is because you can't make it happen. You know and I had a good friend tell me at the last horse show, don't force it, trust the process and you know I had that in mind all week long and the Cattlemen's really helped me coming into this show know to just you know trust the process, don't make it happen. You know at the Derby they got me for moving my hand and it was just because I was so into the run and trying to make it happen and you know I would have had a 226 there if that doesn't happen so I knew that the horse is capable and you know the horse has great owners that are very supportive of just do whatever you want both so I had everything on my side to you know just get the job done, just stay out of the horse's way and just cut what me, Wes and Lee Frantz-Wall thought were the three best available cows there and don't try to force anything. Your last win in the Will Rogers was nine years ago, the Ferturity win in 08. Too long ago. So you could say it's been a long time between drinks but you've made countless finals at all the Triple Crown events, you've been reserve champion twice here at the Superstakes, what does this buckle mean to you and how does it compare to the Ferturity win? Well I tell you you know it was a goal of ours after we won the Ferturity, me and the Fultz and living in Amarillo we put a lot of heart and soul into Metallicad and five years of really trying to you know prove this stallion and you know kind of along that way I forgot about myself and what it took to be you know as good as the competition is to compete with him and once I got this horse all of a sudden he started reminding me and so you know we started pushing and concentrating a little more and working a little harder and so I'm blessed to have this horse because I feel like that he's kind of that horse to really change my program for the better and you know kind of show that we're serious again and really love what we do and so I just I feel very yeah I'm in the zone very blessed great owners great team I mean Matt and Taylor they take care of us from you know sunrise to sunset and and of course my wife Ashley you know that's yeah she's she's truly amazing she gets that horse ready and takes care of me and tells me you know hey you should maybe work in and pin one this week and then that's what we did and it's felt extremely good the horses felt ready the whole time so I felt we had a good shot all right so take us through your run tell us what was going through your mind at the time well I had the yellow hair for horns and the red slick and the yellow hair for horns was at top and as I went walking down there and me and Lee had talked about it too let's just you know let's stay cool down there and as soon as I was walking down there the yellow hair for horns went to the back wall so I happened to kind of switch over to the red slick and she was down and just started walking out just like everybody talks about when you win here just she just walked right out and we got behind her and cut her and really wasn't into the run as far as into the herd or taking any time off the clock so I knew I had to stay you know real cool and get back on time management of the run so it worked out good Wesley said it on the second cow when we went to the yellow hair for horns that she had a little feel of was pretty gauging so he was a titch worry but he didn't want to put any worry in my mind and and we were going after she was out on the outside and in a good spot and she started a little and then she took off and got real good and then the last cow was real tricky and tough and I was looking forward to hearing the buzzard what about on that last cow when the rain was stuck on the ear did that worry you I didn't even know it was stuck on the ear I was I'm watching the the cow I'm not even looking at his head or ears I just he's on that cow because I'm on that cow and I didn't even know it was stuck on it fortunately didn't take long you know it just sorted itself out so tell us a little bit about metallic rebel what when what's the stunning like to show and and train I mean he he means the world to me I mean just like I said I think he's he's changed my program he's he's changed my way of thinking just getting me back into that you know competitive you know and he just he gives you a horse that gives you an opportunity to learn again as Metallica did you know we were so full force with Metallica and and and winning and what's similar about them they allow you to win I mean if you do your job they put you in a winning scenario and not every horse can do that and there for you learn and a lot because you don't always win and so when you don't win you better learn and and those are the kind of horses that you learn a lot on because they give you that opportunity so they're different enough in that they they taught you to do different things as a trainer and show them by the sounds of it yeah I mean draws matter you know you're you can't always force it you can't you know you can't always win and so you're just having to to be calculated with them at all times and and they're such you know extremely blessed animals and it must be satisfying to you know you champion one successful stallion and then it's progeny is now successful yes and and I feel that Tom and Lisa or you know it's it seems like a very similar scenario you know they're a lot like Alvin and Becky they have a lot of trust in me and and and I think that's what allows us to do our job so well is when they give you that trust you feel you know makes you feel really confident that somebody believes in you that much all right exciting to watch was definite crowd favorite thank you very much congratulations
