The early days of the dual Champion Hurdle winner, page 6

 
Scott Burton charts the largely disappointing early French career of duel Champion Hurdle winner Hurricane Fly.
 
A fascinating true story

"You never know what will happen  but I had a feeling he would get better with age. "
 
A racehorse needs to be happy every day, in his work, in his resting, in his learning and in his performing.
 
Clive Brittain with Robin Oakley. 'The Smiling Pioneer' catches the essence of this in
Chapter Two and Three in part herewith.


CHAPTER TWO
The Murless Years
pages 23 to 38

"
Sir Noel was a tremendous thinker about the animal's condition and wellbeing and noticed everything. I can remember he would say at evening stables, "That  horse was very nervous with you this morning" . "We never had a big conversation. He called me "Calne" because that was where I came from. It was an "Evening Calne". "Evening sir" , "yes, sir" kind of relationship. I would say something like "This horse doesn't like going through the trees on the way to the gallop" and it was about getting the horses to the bottom of the gallop with as little stress as possible. 

CHAPTER THREE
Pegasus Days
pages 39 to 49
 
"Clive says "You've  got to take the animal into consideration. They don't come out of their boxes every day in the same frame of mind. They  (the racehorses) are affected by different ground, by left-handed or right-handed courses, by different distances, and these captains of industry don't always appreciate that. Fellow trainer Sir Mark Prescott, who took over officially from Jack Waugh at Heath House just two years before the Brittain's opened up at Pegasus Stables, says that, apart from his talents as a horseman , Clive's good nature enables him to cope with owners that others were glad to see leave. 'His speciality was that he could manage difficult 'owners. ' Together with his wife Maureen. A double act if ever there was one. Maureen tackles everything in Theory in the office department, and in the kitchen department, dishing up breakfasts out of this world.
