Before the 1996 BC Mile, he walked the entire Woodbine course three times, with his assistant (she was in heels) and their exercise rider to find the best path on the course. He then drew up a map for Gary Stevens (who was riding Da Hoss) with instructions on it.

Eccentric is putting it mildly, but hard to fault the success he had.

If you really think about it, knowing where the best ground is, is something most people would want to know.
