 Welcome to the 2016 Luka Soil NCAA Superstakes big final tonight the open classic and the winner was Morgan Cromer on made of metal with the 223 congratulations Morgan. Amazing. This is your first major win in the Will Rogers you seem very emotional when it's set in. Yeah it is it's it's unbelievable I mean I you know I've been coming here since I was a kid you know and and so to be able to win one is pretty amazing. So you made you had three make it to the final how did that feel coming into it what was your preparation. I just made me feel confident you know made me feel confident that I was doing the right thing you know I was working in the right way and and and that I had him on target and they just you know they felt great last week when I showed him at home or two weeks ago and they all made the finals out there so I knew you know what I mean I just knew they were on target and I felt confident coming down here and that's that's a big part of it. Did you have a feeling it was going to be made of metal that was going to be your top horse. Well she Andrew Coates has been helping me all week out there and he's staying out there and he said he said I think this is made of metals week so he called it. So you came out second and you had to sit through two herds you had a really good lead right up until the third last out horse John Mitchell on CR Tough Lucy who was sweeping up a storm how are you feeling at that moment. Well you know I just kept telling myself that I was happy with whatever happened I mean it you know it's it's one of those things where you can never be disappointed with being second but you know I yeah I always just try to not be overly happy until it's all the way done but you know I mean we all know that's such a great mare and you know and he's phenomenal so it's like you you know you feel if you're second to somebody like that it's it's it's really great too especially here you know. Yeah it must have been the longest two heads of your life. It was and luckily I had another one to show in this her so I kind of had to focus but then after that I was a mess yeah they were making videos over there of me you know like trying to tear the fence down. So take us through your run cow by cow. The first cow I actually wanted to cut another cow that walked off over into the herd and that cow that we like just walked out and got started and like I said about that mare she can be a little wild off the start so you know as soon as she started right I was more confident to use her you know and and then the second cow was a white cow that we really really liked all along and it just happened to be there you know it's one of those things that usually when it's gonna work those cows kind of walk to the top and and that white cow was really good and it tested her but in a good way you know made her get smart and it made her it made her get you know really really hit the ground and then that third cow was just an option cow we knew it but we it was just a black cow that we needed to finish on and and she felt a little tired there at the end but she never quit trying you know I kept kicking her a little harder because she was she was kind of getting tired but she really really tried so she's now just with this win made over a hundred thousand I think I think so too yeah that's awesome and you've had this horse pretty much the whole way through all the way through I traded for her as a yearling so does that make it more special yeah yeah it does especially when I've been telling you know I've been telling the lady that owns her Judy I've been like this is she's good I just need you know and like I said she's had a few little issues here and there and so we haven't been consistent on her and now we've been consistent and she feels great okay now for your success you I think made over 260,000 last year just in this three months you've now hit over 160,000 is this gonna be the year of Morgan I hope so but now it feels great and and you know it just I think it's one of the things and everybody knows when you get on you know when you get on a roll and you're confident and you're working your horse is good it just you know it just keep rolling with it because it'll change but you just got to go with it when you got it you know I do know there's gonna be some Californians partying tonight because we put up a Facebook post when you made the three horses to the final and the response was absolutely overwhelming you've got a real support they're out there yeah for sure they're great and and I wouldn't change that for the world I love it out there and it's my home and you know I mean the Pacific Coast is is so awesome they're all support each other and and and that's what I love I mean I've got more text messages and everything from you know from out there it's been great well congratulations on a job well done thank you very much thank you
