This interview was long overdue, Walker was always excellent in is post race interviews so it was very strange/unusual that it took so long for him to give a chat with the Quick Galloper. I attribute one thing and one thing only to his early success and that is, his discipline and tutelage from his apprentice master which he alluded to. Long before this interview I heard him talk about discipline, attitude, weight management, punctuality and he's still talking about it today and encouraging others to do the same. A true champion, one whom I admire his rise from rags to riches as one might say.
We trank you for your comment. Please note however that we csannot force people to do an interview.
