O’MEARA AND TUDHOPE SET THE PACE ON THE YORKSHIRE TRACKS
David O’Meara, who trains at Nawton near Helmsley and his stable jockey, Danny Tudhope lead their respective categories in the race for the Sky Bet Trophies presented to the leading trainer and jockey who record the most number of winners on the Yorkshire racecourses during the 2013 Flat season, which concludes at Doncaster on Saturday, November 9.
O’Meara, who is yet to win this award, had 34 winners in the bag up to the end of June, six more than Malton trainer, Richard Fahey (a three-times winner of this prize), while Tudhope (who won this award for the first time last year with 43 winners) has ridden 26 winners so far this season on the county’s tracks, six clear of Paul Mulrennan.
The trophies will be presented to the respective winners at the ‘Go Racing in Yorkshire’ Annual Awards Lunch in November, an event also sponsored by Sky Bet.
