The son of Character in a Million, Ginger McCain. The most wonderful photograph front page news in the Racing Post the Sunday after this year's Grand National with Donald and Ginger together after winning this race. Fantastic. DONALD TAKES C4 GUEST TEST IN BRILLIANT FASHION GOING TO THE TOP OF THE LEADER BOARD TO JOIN FRANKIE DETTORI. Donald, the trainer of this year's Grand National winner BALLABRIGGS (IRE) partner stable jockey JASON MAGUIRE. Unsurprisingly Donald has worked in racing for all of his working life. Prior to this he learned his trade from his father - Aintree legend Ginger, who saddled the winner of the World's Greatest Steeplechase four times, with Red Rum (1973/4/7) and Amberleigh House (2004). On leaving school Donald was dispatched to Newmarket where he worked for Luca Cumani for 2 1/2 years (Kahyasi, Celestial Storm, Then Again, Dallas). Newmarket was followed by Lambourn and Donald joined the highly successful yard of Oliver Sherwood as pupil assistant and later as stable amateur (Cruising Altitude, The West Awake, Young Pokey). Through his 'Lambourn years' Donald did not abandon Newmarket but worked for Sir Michael Stoute (Zilzal, Shaadi), Chris Wall and Sean Woods (now training in Hong Kong) during the summer months. Donald also had about 50 successes in the saddle and in excess of 700 rides over 10 seasons.The experiences Donald gained during his time in these top yards have stood him in good stead and have been endorsed by the increasing number of winners he has had season by season, which include four Cheltenham Festival successes, an Aintree Festival success, The Scottish Champion Hurdle, The Galway Hurdle and on the flat, the winner of The Northumberland Plate. Since he began training in 2006, Donald has trained in excess of 260 winners.

TO-DAY’S BIG TALKING POINT TOM CERR ANTICIPATES CLUES A PLENTY IN THE NEXT WEEK. DERBY POINTERS SET TO EMERGE IN COMING DAY’S. “AS FAR as will he won’t he sages go, FRANKEL’S participation in the Investec Derby always seems to lean decidedly in favour of won’t-he. And sure enough FRANKEL will not be at Epsom next month. “That leaves Britain’s premier Classic in the unusual situation of being more about who is not there than who is. “Chester failed to yield any hot contenders-vase winner TREASURE BEACH earned quotes of 33-1 for Epsom and yesterday’s Dee Stakes was won by GLEN’S DIAMOND, who as a gelding is ineligible. “It’s unlikely today’s Totesport.com Derby Trial at Lingfield is going to yield us a star who can step out of FRANKEL’S shadow. Only two of the seven runners hold Derby entries, and only one of them is even likely to start at Lingfield - Eoghan O’Neill’s WAR IS WAR is rated doubtful to start, and is at any rate, a 100/1 outsider. “That leaves the enigmatic MARHABA MAYLOON to trouble our Derby reflections. His solitary start came in a Bath maiden over 1m 2f last September; his claims to Derby contentions rests mainly in his stamina-laden pedigree. At 50-1, however, there is little to suggest a head of steam building behind him. “ However, a proper Derby contender will be trialling tomorrow in France where VADAMAR ... as short as 10-1 for the Classic- lines up in the Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud ... “And so we come inevitably to the Dante at York on Thursday when the top three in the Derby market will meet in a dress rehearsal for next month. If any race is likely to offer us a Derby star it is this. “From the unexposed, unknown WORLD DOMINATION – one measly maiden and a whole lot of hype to his name – to the Queen’s CARLTON HOUSE and on to the great Ballydoyle hope, SEVILLE, all three have the potential to emerge on Friday morning as the next big thing. Whether the Derby will remain clouded by FRANKEL’S shadow and the ambiguity of its protagonists should, at least, be a lot clearer by this time next week.” CHESTER LIVE ON C4 “ONE FOR THE MONEY PRICEWISE 11-1 FANCY TOM SEGAL” “ONE MORE CHANCE ST NICHOLAS ABBEY BIDS TO REDEEM HIS HUGE REPUTATION IN TODAY’S ORMOND STAKES.” WRITES DAVID CARR AN EXCITING WIN YESTERDAY AS ST NICHOLAS ABBEY RUNS AWAY WITH THE ORMOND STAKES . Handler presenter DAVID HICKEY trainer A P O’Brien (IRE) for D Smith, Mrs J Magnier, M Tabor. 11/8 Winning distance 9 lengths. Win Prize Money £36,900.50. 5 ran. 111./6-31 ST NICHOLAS ABBEY won the Racing Post Trophy as a two year old. Only managed to finish 6th in the 2,000 Guineas last year, off the track for 11 months. Clearly O’Brien and his Team at Ballydoyle have managed to get this beautiful colt back to his brilliant best, a great achievement, promising an exciting campaign throughout 2011. DATES FOR YOUR DIARY DANTE FESTIVAL YORK RACECOURSE WEDNESDAY 12th MAY. THURSDAY 13th MAY. FRIDAY 14th MAY 2011 C4 TO BRING US THE ACTION LIVE. DON'T MISS IT. http://www.yorkracecourse.co.uk/racing/fixtures/dante-festival_16 York in May is a fantastic place to come racing, the season lies ahead and many star horses have risen to prominence on the Knavesmire over these three fantastic days. Last season, the star turn was Sariska, the Michael Bell trained filly that took the Tattersalls Musidora on the opening day as part of a string of victories that were to include both the English and Irish Oaks. Frankie Dettori and his subsequent first Derby winner, Authorized, provided one of the great memories of 2007 when they won the totesport Dante Stakes, held on Thursday. The top horses from the action on Friday will often reappear in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot as the leading stayers take centre stage in the Emirates Airline Yorkshire Cup; last year’s champion, Ask, went on to win the Coronation Cup at Epsom and helped Sir Michael Stoute achieve first, second and third in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. The new York season offers many racegoers a chance to meet up with friends that they might not see over the Winter. The new mown grass and freshly planted flowers around the racecourse add to the sense of new beginnings and there is a definite buzz in the air. As well as the racing, there are some extra things happening at the Dante Festival. On Wednesday, BOB CHAMPION is visiting us as part of his 60:60 challenge. York is day 26 of his 10,000 mile fund raising marathon.
