Is there any specific reason why there seems to be so many MX Trainers, and good ones at that, from SA? Aldon, Swanie, Rattray, Johnny Louch, and please add any I've missed. Work ethic, their environment, coincidence, the water?

Probably because South Africa was colonized by the Dutch. And we all know the Dutch are very motivated / straight talking people.

Sidenote: Anyone else notice GL was a bit cagey to admit Rattray was an elite trainer.

So was the USA - Peter Stuyvesant served as the last Dutch Director-General of the colony of New Netherland from 1647 until it was ceded provisionally to the English in 1664, after which it was renamed New York.

Because they are all so tough. One thing they have in common? They all came from district 9.

It's the accent.

It makes them sound more professional than the bro-cal accent. So the riders think they're smarter so they hire them. /sarcasm
