Arkle Chase Trainers
The Arkle Trophy Chase has seen a number of trainers specialising in the race. For instance, Martin Pipe, won in successive years with Or Royal and Champleve in 1997 and 1998. He then won a further twice with the brilliant Well Chief who won in 2004, followed by Contraband in the following year. Northern based trainer, Peter Easterby trained three winners of the race, Alverton in 1978, Clayside in 1981 and Ryeman in 1983. Of course the race will always be assocciated with the Tom Dreaper and Arkle partnership. The trainer won three times in succession with the great Arkle in the mid-60s.
Of the current trainers, Cheltenham Festival specialist, Nicky Henderson has three wins, including the great Remittance Man in 1991, Travado in 1993 and Tiutchev in 2000. Current leading trainer, Paul Nicholls has two wins in the race, Flagship Uberalles in 1999 and Azertyuiop in 2003. Alan King, himself becoming a Cheltenham specialist also can boast two wins so far, Mt Way de Solzen in 2007 and Voy Por Ustedes in 2006.
