I've met the fella on a few occasions, a decent guy in my opinion. But then I didn't expect anything from him and wouldn't have taken any notice had he have said anything.
What did he do to merit that comment aj?I've met the fella on a few occasions, a decent guy in my opinion. But then I didn't expect anything from him and wouldn't have taken any notice had he have said anything.
Don't mind gambling owners/yards but when short price favourites drift like a leg has fallen off 2 mins before the off, it's a bit unsavoury in my opinion.
Spoke to Pipe once, seemed like a decent enough chap, but told me 'Frosted Grape' was a mortgage job. It lost.

It has to be said as a trainer of racehorses he has big failings.
Given the money the likes of Prof Tindall and Bryan Drew can spend he massively underperformed and he's clearly not been listening to his dad in his formative years.
He's the first trainer that I'll put a line through when going through a card, couldn't back one of his with stolen money.

Yeah, Pipe only got three wins and five seconds out of the horse in the 21 months he had it.
(I don't think I've ever seen connections as ecstatic after finishing second as D'Jango's were at Taunton today. They just couldn't stop cuddling and kissing the animal afterwards.)

I can't see any Pipe favs in the last two weeks, so what WAS this about? I met him several times. Lovely chap. Gave me a let's say encoded message that his horse wouldn't like the ground once, which I sadly ignored (didn't have a bet). It finished last. So seemed reliable to me. I met his parents too. They were fabulous. MArtin showed me a few mares out in the field and asked me to guees what one was the two time Festival winner. I had no idea of course and easily the ugliest of the beasts was of course the one. Gaspara. A lesson in looks.
