Kieran also owes something to Del Carroll, who helped him when he was struggling right at the start of his training career...

But they ALL do look to DWL as the guy that taught them how to run a big time professional operation.

Yes, I agree with you 100%. There are alot of fans out there that don't know that. Many of the fans think that DWL taught these guys how to train. In reality, when thse guys were working for DWL, he was actually learning from them when it came to the actual horses.
