He has reached 100 winners four times subsequently, the most recent being 116 winners in 2014-15.

Pipe has over 1,000 winners to his name and has trained a winner at every racecourse in the UK.

David Pipe’s Grand National victory was undoubtedly a career highlight but he also has a fine record at Cheltenham, particularly in the handicap races.

He also won the Ultima Handicap Chase twice with Un Temps Pour Tout in 2016 and 2017.
Pipe has also picked up some valuable staying prizes on the flat, notably the Chester Cup with Mamlook and the Ascot Stakes with Junior.

The 33-1 win for Western Warhorse in the 2014 Arkle took almost everyone by surprise. He lowered the colours of fancied Irish raider Champagne Fever and Trifolium.
