Leading Festival Trainers
15/02/08

Few things are more coveted by trainers than a victory at The Festival at Cheltenham and no current handler has enjoyed more success than Nicky Henderson, who despite failing to score in 2007, can boast 31 winners at jump racing’s premier event.

Indeed Henderson, whose first Festival victory came in 1985, is the third most successful trainer of all time at The Festival, behind Fulke Walwyn, who sent out 40 winners over a five-decade period and Martin Pipe (34 wins). Ireland’s most successful current trainer is Edward O’Grady with 18 victories while Britain’s champion trainer Paul Nicholls continues to rapidly build on his record.

Nicholls has enjoyed 14 victories at the last five Festivals, including four in 2007. Local trainer Jonjo O’Neill is on 14 winners, the only other current handler with more than a dozen Festival successes, although both Alan King and Ferdy Murphy – with three and two wins respectively at the 2007 Festival – also boast improving records, with each now on seven Festival wins.

THE RACING POST LEADING TRAINER AWARD

The Racing Post is sponsoring the Leading Trainer Award for a third year in 2008, and this year should be as exciting as ever with trainers representing Great Britain, Ireland and France aiming for the prize.

For the third time in four years, Paul Nicholls was leading trainer in 2007. He hit the bullseye courtesy of Kauto Star, Denman, Andreas and Taranis.

Nicky Henderson, Alan King, Philip Hobbs, Jonjo O’Neill, David Pipe and Paul Nicholls are among those to be respected and will be fighting to finish The Festival 2008 as the most successful trainer, while the challenge from Ireland is always strong.

The Racing Post Leading Trainer Award will be decided on the number of winners trained over the four days. If there is a tie it will go down to the number of second places. If there is still a tie, the number of third places will be taken into account and the award will be shared if there remains a tie after that.
