Simple answer. You work harder, you work smarter, you change what u may have been doing, u study training techniques, u study NEW training techniques, u study how the best horses in the world are being trained, And maybe, this is what u should have been doing in the first place! How many trainers are in their comfort zone, doing the same things they have done for the last 20-30 years BUT expect different results?
Now not all trainers are guilty of the above, but those who may cry about LM have no right when they are their own worst enemy.
As PETEBOSS said above "Also this industry is not big enough to have it "professional" ( i too wish that) but its not, just have a look around on race nights, days etc, that will show you the reason why it is not."...in other words (mine, not peteboss) there are a lot of older generation nan and pop trainers/drivers who are TOO set in their ways too fuddy duddy narrow-minded to accept that someone getting results like Luke is potentially legit.
Now before someone jumps on here and blasts my "outrageous broad generalization" my "concept" of "nan and pop syndrome" is apparent in all walks of life not just the trots...
Also as i said not all are guilty but a damn hell of a lot are...one could argue here for the 80/20 rule!
