 Gavin Jordan, the winner of the $25,000 novice championship at the 2016 World Finals. Congratulations to you Gavin. Thank you, thank you very much. Now you rode Mercedes smooth. How did the finals end up in terms of your go rounds? I won the first go round mark 222.5 and was second in the second go round mark 218. So you came into it with a pretty hefty lead. I came in 15,000 ahead so they couldn't catch me so it was pretty freewheeling. It was fun. You could actually just sit back and enjoy the cutting for once? No matter what happened it was going to be alright. Does it make it different for you when you're in that position? I like coming in in that position. It's a lot better than having to fight them off for sure. Does it make the cutting better or a few nerves help? Well it helps I mean because there's nothing you know you can't lose. It's pretty easy to just have to try and win. That's a lot easier than not trying to lose for sure. So tell us this is your fifth world championship. Does it feel any different to the others? Are you getting used to this or are you hungry for more? Always hungry for more. I was actually reserved in the 5,000 novice by $46 if you can believe that. And my mare had been hurt for the last two months of the year and this was her first show back. So I don't like being second near as much as winning. And that was your tussle at that event? Absolutely yep. Okay so tell us about Mercedes Smooth. I like the name. Is she good to ride? Absolutely. She's fabulous. Matt Gaines trained her. Steph and Chuck Rovan owner sent her to me at the start of the year for the purpose of trying to win a world title on her. Come out of an unbelievable program. So although it's not easy to win a horse like that trained that well it makes it a lot easier I can tell you that. What are the plans for this horse? She's in the sale this weekend or next weekend I should say. No that was also part of the plan trying to build that record on her. She's won 145,000 now and world champion. Hopefully that helps her in the sale. Will you be taking the ride again next year? I don't know what I'm going to do next year. I'm going to get through this one. I got one in the semifinals at the Ferturity and we'll see what happens. How many shows do you typically hit in the year when you're doing the world finals? How many did you hit this year? I couldn't tell you. We went hard until August and then our age events started out there in the West Coast so the weekend stuff backed off. So then I hit the age events and finished up the year as we could. Well it's pretty good to be able to hit both finals and be successful so good job, thank you. Thank you, appreciate it.
