Martin Pipe rewrote the record books

Martin Pipe rewrote the record books again by smashing his personal best for the fastest 200 winners in a season when Select Star took the Oak Novices' Claiming Hurdle at Ludlow yesterday. After becoming the most successful trainer in British racing on February 4th, followed a week later by his 3,000th winner, the Nicholashayne maestro stormed to his quickest double century. He broke his record by 69 days in what is the seventh 200 of a remarkable career.
