There are actually some trainers that don't even watch their horses train. They sit in their office all day and rely on their assistants. Shirreffs is not like that. He watches everything, every day. He will notice if the slightest thing is off. That is why he is so good.

They act like no one has ever shipped before and people eat it right up. It's pretty amazing.
