Boy am I glad all my mistakes are not public knowledge.

Yes it must be great to be perfect especially where it comes to training horses that make a fool of us all but would like to add that Charles is a top class gent and a first class trainer.

One job I would never do is be a race horse trainer.......when u flying along everyone wants to bring you back to earth.....when u going through a rough patch u become a useless trainer overnight.....either way you can't win......CL is very good and good luck to him in the future.....less pressure from the boss now!
