Watched the Paul Nicholls interview on Channel 4 Racing this afternoon.
The “between race fill-in” examined Paul’s preparation for next weeks Cheltenham Festival, his thoughts on his stable stars and his fears for next week. The interview was “fascinating” as Dr Spook would remark.
The attention to detail pertaining to race preparation for every horse in his stable explains why he is top banana amongst National Hunt trainers
Nicholls sets a high standard and I get the impression that Gene Krantz (of Apollo 13 “failure is not an option fame” ) are breed from the same pod.
My punting has been haphazard over the last year or so, and listening to Paul is an example of why I need to set my own uncompromising standards as I struggle to build and maintain that illusive trait punters need to stay in the game.
Consistency
