Ziadie said: “I am thrilled that Calder is letting me back. After two years, I have learned a lot about the financial responsibility I need as a trainer and I have grown as a person.”

He obviously spent the 2 yr vacation honing his skills as a superior horseman; maybe Drug O\'Neill is his life coach?
