GUEST STAR DAVID PIPE
David Pipe was born to train racehorses. Son of Martin Pipe CBE, fifteen times champion National Hunt trainer, and the most successful racehorse trainer in British racing history, David fast carved a niche for himself as an extremely successful and talented Point-to-Point trainer. Indeed, during his six seasons as a trainer of Pointers, David amassed no fewer than 164 winners (including 47 Point-to-Points and two Hunter Chases in his final season) – each weekend he seemed to return with a winner!
David talks us through his horses, hopes and fears for next weeks challenges at the Cheltenham Festival.
Channelled his talents...
Since his father’s retirement from training at the end of April 2006, David has channelled his talents towards the Pond House string – a role which has provided a varied, challenging and rewarding role alongside his record-breaking father who now occupies the position of assistant trainer.
Despite his tender years in comparison to his contemporaries, David has amassed a wealth of experience. He has learnt his trade not only from the champion British jumps trainer, but also through experience with some of the world’s other leading handlers including Michael Dickinson in America, Cricquette Head-Maarek in France and Joey Ramsden in South Africa.
Pond House Racing Stables boasts facilities that have pioneered and revolutionised the racing world. The training facilities include the all weather gallop, indoor canter and loose schooling arena, indoor swimming pool, solarium, horse walker and treadmills. We have our very own on site laboratory, with Laboratory Technician and fully qualified Vet on hand to oversee the general care of the horses.

“Cheltenham Countdown “I could very easily get it wrong. It’s the closest thing to the toss of a coin you’d find.” BARRY GERAGHTY talks to STEVE DENNIS about the agonising choices he face. Geraghty, his three years with Henderson, following the retirement of Mick Fitzgerald, has been the most rewarding of Geraghty’s career, and that blend of laid-back County Meath man and slightly hyperactive Old Etonian produces a twinkle of merriment in Geraghty’s eye “I don’t know how we manage to work together really,” he smiles “But that’s what makes him so good as a trainer and so good to work with – it’s his attention to detail, he’s right on top of everything.”
DAVID ASHFORTH “So many people say so many things it’s hard to know what to think. There’s a danger I may have to think for myself.”
BACKSTAGE 12-1 for National after point win. By TONY O’HEHIR. “Elliott’s low-profile prep has echoes of SILVER BIRCH.”

WHAT THEY SAY IN WESTMINSTER
“Culture secretary JEREMY HUNT, to Culture Media and Sport select committee, Oct 2010: “there is no long- term commitment to the levy and we hope to find a way in which we can migrate racing and betting away from the system we have, which I consider to be extremely archaic.”
“Minister for gambling JOHN PENROSE, Common debate, January 2011. ‘The levy system is old fashioned and, if not broken, in the process of breaking. It feels as though it ought to be a normal commercial relationship . The challenge is not whether we accept that premise, but in working out what a normal commercial relationship will look like and how we can get from where we are today to that point, and on a sustainable basis. ....”
TORY MP MATTHEW HANCOCK, Commons debate, January 2011: “We need a system that leaves racing and betting to their commercial future and ensures that racing’s product is appropriately financed and protected. We need a new, fair structure that keeps British racing the best in the world and ensures that those who profit from racing help to pay for racing, so I support a racing right.”
LABOUR MP and former sports minister GERRY SUTCLIFFE, Commons debate, January 2011: “What should the Government’s role be? They should try to get out of the levy and ensure that something is there to take its place. The solution has to be a commercial one. I am moving towards the idea of a sports betting right.”

J.Margaret Clarke, questions who act within the Horsemen’s Group? Are they all Bloodhorse Illiterate?
Who are to act in the British Horseracing Authority? Are they all Bloodhorse Illiterate?
Who are to act on the racecourses? Are they all Bloodhorse Illiterate?
DAVID CAMERON AND NICK CLEGG, ASK BRITISH HORSERACING "WHO ARE WE DEALING WITH HERE?"
BOTH CAMERON AND CLEGG ARE BLOODHORSE ILLITERATE. Perhaps this is one of the Key reasons that governments have been robbing all who work at the dangerous sharp end of British horseracing each amd every day, over decades. Taking such people for granted, pushing them well down into goverments pit of poverty, as of no account, assuming such people have no skills.
