The thrill of his first winner as a trainer was better than his first winner as a jockey.

His roles now span from being a salesman to a shrink. A conditioner, psychologist, physiotherapist & horse whisperer to his team.

Doesn't believe in doing it (training) half-heartedly. "If you are going to do it, you might as well do it properly. It is a business.’’

Let's hope his efforts are fully rewarded.
