"Really don't care what they say", that is the philosophy to pursue Coops. Greyhound racing is all about enjoying what you do and do it within your financial limit, that is, for 95% of people. With regard to financial limits, my conservative approach was always, "when you spend a dollar on a dog, never expect to see that dollar again". I am very often impressed by the leading dog trainers interviewed on the radio, people like but not only, Reg Kay and Robert Britton. They always seem so humble, modest. I can only trust that this is how they really are. This really pleases me in that over decades of involvement and/or interest, I was always bemused by the dog people who always knew better than the other person including defaming them behind their backs and it was often a load of #@&t. The rubbish I have heard over those years is remarkable. This is part of the reason I take such a self-effacing attitude towards myself (not that I prescribe this for other people) and in particular, my ability to train dogs. I want to be as different as possible compared to those people. A friend said to me in 1969, "I can only do what I think it is right and accept whatever happens, maybe learn from my mistakes". Pretty simple but that's about it. Nevertheless, you can listen to people who you think are worth listening to and weigh up whether there is anything you can "take on board". With regard to "metro" winners, let me assure you that they are hard to find and yes, winning a race anywhere is fantastic. In fact, do you know what, I have always wanted to win a race at Broken Hill. Unfortunately, I can't see it happening before I die and of course there is then no hope. You are going great Coops, two in a row and yes, I hope it will soon be three but whatever happens, the most important thing is that the dog gets around safely and that you keep on enjoying what you are doing.
