David O’Meara, who trains at Nawton near Helmsley and his stable jockey, Danny Tudhope both have narrow advantages in their respective categories regarding 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, has 60 winners in the bag, just two ahead of 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 already ridden 42 winners so far this season on the county’s tracks, six clear of Graham Gibbons.
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.
