David Pipe

David Pipe is the son of Martin Pipe CBE, fifteen times champion National Hunt trainer, and the most successful racehorse trainer in British racing history and has fast carved a niche for himself as an extremely successful and talented Point-to-Point trainer.

When his father, Martin Pipe, retired at the end of April 2006, David channeled his talents towards the Pond House string and by the end of the season his tally stood at 134 winners (more than any other trainer), prize money won was in excess of £1.6million and he had finished third in the trainers championship behind Paul Nicholls and Jonjo O’Neill.

The 2007/08 season was to prove even more spectacularly successful – a Cheltenham Festival double (An Accordion – William Hill Trophy and Our Vic – Ryanair Chase) was followed up by another double at the Grand National meeting for good measure. Comply Or Die provided the highlight of the whole season with his sensational victory in the John Smiths Grand National itself – a feat that took his father twenty years to achieve.

Pond House Racing Stables is an incredible facility that has pioneered and revolutionised the racing world. The training facilities include the all weather gallop, indoor canter and loose schooling arena, indoor swimming pool, solarium, horse walker and treadmills. We have our very own on site Laboratory, with Laboratory Technician and fully qualified vet on hand to oversee the general care of the horses.
