 It's one of the most anticipated finals of the 2016 NCHA Great American Insurance Summer Spectacular and it didn't disappoint. I am of course talking about the Open Classic Challenge which features the 5 and 6 year olds and the man of the moment was Gary Gonzalez who rode Raisin the Cache and marked a 229. Very impressive. Job well done Gary. Thank you. So tell us how you're feeling right now. Outstanding. Real proud. Proud of that horse. Glad that we got him showed. Now, how did it feel coming in when John Wichel had marked a 228 pretty early on in the first bunch? What were you thinking? I thought his run was outstanding and I thought well there's a winner. But we had a good draw and we cut some good cows and obviously that horse was really good and it could have went either way. I just thrilled proud that we were able to do it. So take us through your run and describe how Wichel was. The first cow was a little red burnt haired actually it was a slick red that we picked. It was in a good spot to cut first and then we came back and cut the red baldy we talked about and then a black baldy with a notch head that we cut third and they were all picked so then they were all really good. So a lot of times one will be okay but in this case they were all good. You won the Derby on this horse last year and that was a very special moment for you because it was your first major title in the Will Rogers. How does this compare? It feels really good. So anytime you can win something here it feels pretty awesome. That's what everybody works for and anybody could have won tonight. It's really good horses and good hands and it's just a matter of who is able to cut the best cows and we had a great draw. And I thought Johnny's run, you know there are several people that picked great cows so I'm just happy that we went our way. There was some great cutting tonight. Tell us about what it's like to compete in a classic challenge. Are the older horses, do they make you feel more confident you have more fun than say the three and four year olds? Oh yeah because you pretty much know what they're capable of and what you can ask of them. So you know in this case if you cut a good cow on these horses you can really ask them to expose them, get outside of a cow and it's a lot of fun. Okay and tell us about raising the cash. I mean you've had another gear to work on the horse. How has he developed and changed over that time? He's certainly living up to his name. Yeah he is. I think through this year and the last little bit is I've worked on his angles a little bit more where it's making a little bit easier on him and I think that it sure feels like it's helped. Just make them a little easier and where he feels more comfortable that way and the ID showing them so I think that's helped the most out of all of it. Well I believe he's now won over $200,000. Pretty good effort. That's awesome. Something we've wanted to do. And what are the plans now? Just keep doing what you're doing? Yeah we're going to go to all the fall shows we normally go to and keep showing them he's healthy and let the other people out west get to see him and as long as he's healthy we're going to show him so that's the plan. I'm sure people will be very happy to hear that because he was an obvious crowd favorite tonight. Yeah everybody wants to see that horse be good so he has a lot of fans. Thanks very much and congratulations. Thank you.
