P664 CEEFAX 1 664 Thu 02 Dec 19:23/22 DUKE MISSES 1500th WIN 1/2 David Nicholson brought his career to a close on 1,499 winners when his final runner Castle Owen was only third in the novice chase at Market Rasen. Alan King will now take over the training licence at Jackdaws Castle on Friday and will send out his first runners at Sandown that afternoon. There was to be no fairytale ending for 'The Duke' as Castle Owen dropped out of contention four from home. The race went to Storm Of Gold, who just pipped Inch Rose.

P664 CEEFAX 1 664 Thu 02 Dec 19:26/02 NO FAIRYTALE END FOR NICHOLSON 2/2 Alan King, who takes over from David Nicholson on Friday, represented his boss at Market Rasen as Castle Owen failed to give him his 1,500th winner. "It is a shame that he couldn't finish on a winner," King stated after 'The Duke' had said farewell on Wednesday. "The horse jumped into the back of Storm Of Gold at the last ditch which didn't really help him." When asked whether he would be seeking guidance from Nicholson, he replied: "Oh yes. We'll go home and discuss it."LATEST BIG-RACE ANTE-POST PRICES 686Daily Quiz 685BHB 691Race News 661Toff Pipe Business Jockeys
