MDK Why is he so Good?

I think it is the placement of the horses. He finds the correct races for them to get the best from them.

Very few run just for the sake of running.

Interesting stat that he earns more stakes in Durban than JHB

50% of a horses succesful career is the placing of a horse.Some trainers have no idea were to place there horses.

Because of his reputation he obviously gets the better horses from his owners. His reputation was naturally built on his hard work in the early days. Ask yourself this..you have just bought a 2 year old for 1 mill. Who do you give it to. A trainer who has a poor winning record or a Champion trainer with a proven record.

Got to respect the man and what he has achieved, locally and internationally.

Truely impressive record and bound to crack it big in UK very soon. Although scratching my head a bit trying to remember any top sprinters he has ever trained - or am i missing some obvious ones?

Carnadore & Kildonian did win Gr 1 sprints but weren't out and out sprinters.
If there's a chink in MDK's armor, its his record with sprinters

I'm sure most would take a so called 'chink' in return for his record - lol!

Most would, but I'm sure MDK will want to improve on that aspect.

Naturally, he's probably his own worst critic - however it's still an amazing record nonetheless, that most would be proud of.

All the best Shikar - Jim.
