Leading Festival Jockeys
05/02/09
Champion jockey Tony McCoy, with 20 wins to date, is the most successful current rider at The Festival. Since partnering Kibreet to success in the 1996 Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase, the record-breaking jockey has gone on to land a further 19 successes, with two of his greatest triumphs coming in 1997 through a rare big-race double aboard Mr Mulligan in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup and Make A Stand in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle two days earlier.
 |
The 2006 Festival saw McCoy ride three winners, including Brave Inca in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle, to draw level with the retired Richard Dunwoody’s 18 triumphs. He has enjoyed a single winner at each of the past two Festivals, following up Wichita Lineman’s success in the 2007 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle with Albertas Run in the RSA Chase last year, when he had four seconds. His best score at The Festival was five in 1998. He is currently second in the list of leading post-war jockeys at The Festival, five winners adrift of the late Pat Taaffe who recorded 25 triumphs.
Ruby Walsh, stable jockey to champion trainer Paul Nicholls, is catching up thanks to nine Festival winners in the past three years which has brought his total to 17.
Robert “Chocolate” Thornton has also gained nine Festival victories in the last three years, giving him a total of 15.
Tom Scudamore, son of eight-time champion jockey Peter Scudamore gained his first Festival success in 2008 while other jockeys riding their first winner last year included Dominic Elsworth, Noel Fehily, Charlie Huxley, Denis O’Regan and Sam Thomas.

SCUDAMORE CONTINUING FAMILY TRADITION
An Accordion’s brave victory in last year’s William Hill National Hunt Handicap Chase ensured that a third generation of the Scudamore family enjoyed the distinction of riding a winner at The Festival, with Tom following in the footsteps of grandfather Michael, successful in the 1957 totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup, and eight-time champion jockey father Peter, who himself rode 13 winners at Jump racing’s most prestigious meeting.
With such a formidable pedigree, it was little surprise that Tom gained Festival success in his first season as number one jockey to David Pipe, echoing the immense success enjoyed by their fathers Peter Scudamore and Martin Pipe in the 1980s and 1990s.
Scudamore Jnr grew up less than 20 minutes from the racecourse and spent his formative years at Cheltenham College, rarely passing up the opportunity to see his father in action at the home of jump racing.
“It was a tremendous thrill to ride a first winner at The Festival and it was also a great relief at the same time. It was my first season riding as stable jockey for David and it was great to ride a winner at such a big meeting. It’s a high-pressure job riding for such a powerful yard but it’s much more stressful training winners because you have to produce for the owners and I think that David was just as relieved as I was when An Accordion won.
“You always want to have winners, but it’s great to ride one at Cheltenham and even more special at The Festival – it’s the biggest meeting of the season. I was always aware of the prestige of the meeting, having heard about my grandfather’s exploits and seen some of my father’s victories at the Festival. I grew up near Cheltenham so I went to most of the meetings at Prestbury Park from around the age of seven. I used to try and see my father ride there and I went to The Festival on most days.”
Having tasted success at The Festival, Tom is eager to return to the winner’s enclosure at this year’s four-day meeting and the jockey looks set to have several excellent chances courtesy of the Pipe stable, including Lough Derg, Or Noir De Somoza, and An Accordion, together with the perennial strong team of novices and handicappers.
“An Accordion has a couple of entries coming up, and his target at The Festival will depend on how he gets on beforehand. He holds an entry in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup and will probably also be given another entry in the William Hill National Hunt Handicap Chase. He’s raring to go at the moment and it’s just a question of finding the right race for him.
“Lough Derg has been entered in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle or he could take his chance in the Coral Cup. He won the Steel Plate And Sections Hurdle over a similar trip to the Coral Cup on New Year’s Day and he also ran well over three miles in the Byrne Group Cleeve Hurdle on Festival Trials Day, so we will just wait and see which option is best for him.
“Or Noir De Somoza has lots of options at The Festival - the Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase, the Ryanair Chase and the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup. I was very pleased with his run at Ascot, especially considering it was his first appearance for quite some time.
“David said beforehand that he would need the run and obviously Master Minded is the champion two-miler at the moment. Or Noir De Somoza’s best form in France was over slightly further but we will decide which race to go for at The Festival nearer the time.
“We’ve also got Tamarinbleu, who holds entries in the Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Ryanair Chase, so there are plenty of options in the championship chases at the moment and a lot will depend on the ground and how the horses perform beforehand.
“I rode two nice four-year-olds to victory over the weekend - Master Of Arts at Doncaster on Saturday and Mr Thriller at Fontwell on Sunday. They both impressed me and have several possible engagements at The Festival, including the JCB Triumph Hurdle, the Supreme Novices Hurdle and the Fred Winter Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle.”
While Tom is excited over his potential rides at this year’s Festival, he is also keen on the chances of Osana, whom he rode to finish second to Katchit in last year’s Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle. The seven-year-old made an encouraging seasonal return under Paddy Brennan at Sandown on January 31, when he finished three and a half lengths second to Celestial Halo, despite conceding 4lb to last season’s JCB Triumph Hurdle victor.
“I also think that Osana will have a great chance in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle. It will be a shame to miss out on riding him but that’s racing. I’ve gained from similar things happening to other jockeys and there’s nothing personal in the decisions that owners make. He ran a good race at Sandown over the weekend and he will be meeting Celestial Halo on level weights at The Festival, so he goes there with every chance.”
