Leading Festival Trainers
12/02/09
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 can boast 31 winners at jump racing’s premier event and holds a strong hand this year, spearheaded by current Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle favourite Binocular.
 |
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 40 years and Martin Pipe (34 wins). Britain’s champion trainer Paul Nicholls continues to rapidly build on his record and is now up to 20 winners while Ireland’s most successful current trainer is Edward O’Grady with 18 victories.
Local trainer Jonjo O’Neill is on 15 winners with Ireland’s Willie Mullins has enjoyed a dozen successes. Three wins for Alan King in 2008 saw his total move up to 10.

THE LEADING TRAINER AWARD
For the fourth time in five years, Paul Nicholls was leading trainer at The Festival in 2008. He hit the bullseye courtesy of Denman, Master Minded and Celestial Halo. Alan King also trained three winners but was responsible for fewer placed horses.
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 the finish of The Festival 2009 to be the most successful trainer, while the challenge from Ireland is always strong and Willie Mullins will have an excellent chance to become the first trainer based in Ireland to win the award since 1996.
The 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.
