TRAINERS AND TRAINERS.
TRAINING METHODS DISCUSSED. Between the heats at a well-known plumpton in North Taranaki they (some self-etyled “heads”) were discussing and disparaging the methods adopted by a successful owner who was having a phenomonal run of luck. Tim Troy, an identity whose connection with coursing is dated from the earliest days of the sport, looked on silently. At last the discussion grew too hot for even our mild old friend Tim and he chipped in with: “You blokes don’t know what you are talking about!” The participants in the discussion turned quickly, but Tim’s towering form looked too dangerous for a fight and they just looked.sheepishly at him. Tim let his dynamic interjection sink well in before he continued with, “Yes, I know he —know him well. Do you know that that man has trained SEVEN Waterloo Cup winners.” The crowd gasped. “Yes,” concluded Tim, “and he was just training the winner of his eighth Waterloo Cup when his wife nudged 'him and said, ‘get up and bring me in /a cup of tea.’ ” • •
