Most here would know how highly i rate Mick, both as a bloke and as a horse trainer, and after yet another winner tonight, i decided to have a look back at his recent record.
Of his past 50 runners, he has had:
14 - 1sts
9 - 2nds
5 - 3rds
5 - 4ths
So that's a 28% winning strikerate, with an extraordinary 66% of runners earning a cheque.
Many of his horses are unfashionably bred or rejects, with only 4-5 genuinely well bred, relatively expensive types, which only makes his record that much more impressive.
He'll never have the resources or the media hype of the 'name' trainers, but make no mistake, he is as good a trainer as anyone in the state.
