National Hunt Trainer. The only trainer to have won The Grand National, Cheltenham Gold Cup & Champion Hurdle and a winner on every National Hunt Racecourse.
It is with a heavy heart that I have to say the time is right to retire my favourite racehorse First Flow. What a star he has been! Huge thanks to Tony Solomons for being his most wonderful owner.

I really cannot thank First Flow enough. What a thrill to be part of this special horses life. He defies his 12 years young. David Bass and FF are made for each other.Both odd balls!! Thanks to my team for everything.

Towcester racecourse has closed its gates forever. A huge disaster for slow horses.. To think I was once leading trainer and held the 3 mile chase speed record with a suitably slow horse!! A great course ruined for 🏠🏠🏠🏠🧱🏦

The Last Samuri was 2nd in his first BS (showjumping) class. Huge achievement by my daughter Pandora to settle this lovely horse. Rehomed, retrained and always loved
