Pipe won the National Hunt trainers’ championship no fewer than 15 times between the 1988/9 and 2004/5 seasons – a period in which his domination was only interrupted when Nicholson stole the crown in the 1993/4 and 1994/5 campaigns.
Pipe fondly recalls his past experiences with ‘The Duke’ and knows he will be sorely missed.
