We interview Reddave after his Championship Series win!

Championship Series Interview with Reddave

What did it feel like for you to win your Championship Series?
I was in shock. When i realised what happened, i did a few backflips. Then i thought, these things must be easy to win, i can't see what the problem is! lol I've since learnt, they are the hardest things to win, so enjoy everyone you get. 

How optimistic were you about winning?
I didn't think i had a chance, but i got perfect distance and ground for the final, so i though i might have a slim chance. The rivals where Chrisman and Toc, I'd only played for a short time, but learnt quickly, they are hard to beat. 

What routines do you follow before the race ?
i usually look through the field and pick out all the horses i think can beat me. Once i realise there are 13 horses better, i usually just hope the others fall over in the running. When i won the first 1 i shared it with a mate. This season was a lot better as i spent it with the good blokes at traxide for the 3 days, they helped me to understand the game more, and taught me patience (well they tried)So I think we all enjoyed it. Sorry lee lol 

How do you prepare for a Championship Series & what advice would you give other trainers?
Trying to get the best horses i can into the finals to at least have a shot. You need to be in it to win it as Chrisman says. Hmm, advice? Well the first advice i'd give people is don't listen to me lol, get down to traxide and meet the guys down there, i owe a lot of what happened this season to them. 

What would you do differently in future Championship Series?
Nothing, try and get more horses in and maybe take the shoes off the other trainers horses. Do you think they would mind?
lmao 

How do you celebrate winning the Championship Series?
I celebrated with my mates at traxide, i spent a lot of the money buying horses for the following season. 

Final Comments?
Enjoy every final, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Being able to get horses in is the best feeling. If you can make the 14 horse final, then you've already won as the game is full of great stables all trying to do the same. I enjoyed watching the the greats and future greats of the game. I'm hoping Rusty Princess gets to the top, and would be happy to see Toc Black Magic somewhere on the hall of fame also. Both are great trainers and great horses
