Gilles Barrieau 
     
    
   
   
    
     At the conclusion of my interview with 
     
    
   
   
    
     this \‘ery talented and personable trainer 
     
    
   
   
    
     and driyer. Gilles offered a perspectiye 
     
     \V'ith deter— 
     
     mined sincerity he explained. "If you 
     
    
   
   
    
     on a yery pertinent topic. 
     
    
   
   
    
     want to haye success as a trainer. you 
     
     haye to be up front \\'ith all of your own— 
     
     ers. That is yery important. There is no 
     
    
   
   
    
     time for lies when it comes to owners. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Behind the Gate 
     
    
   
   
    
     You haye to he up front and tell them 
     
     like it is. If their horse is no good. you 
     
     must tell them the truth. You should not 
     
     keep them hoping just because they offer 
     
     guaranteed income for you at the end of 
     
     each month." This may help to explain 
     
     why Gilles Barrieau \yas achieying suc— 
     
     cess in a Very competitiye industry and 
     
     why he may well he eyen more success— 
     
     ful in the future.
