"To succeed, you need to work and surround yourself with a good team. The important thing is to have a good group of horses and a good group of people to help you and take care of everything. And work a lot, as in all sports. In the end, you learn much more from the bad days than from the good days, because that is when you have to be strong, and when you know where you fail."
