Can Johnny the Hat stay on track?Byline: David Pipe This article is about the Welsh football player. For David Pipes, see David Pipes. David Pipe (born November 5 1983 in Caerphilly, Wales) is a professional football player. He currently plays for Bristol Rovers. I was overwhelmed at the number of people who congratulated me both in person and by email after last Saturday's big treble - I'm thrilled so many of you had a decent touch. Harry Cole emailed to say he had his biggest ever win - around pounds 17,000. I've still got a few horses for sale, Harry! Michael Gould Not to be confused with Mick Gould or Michael Gould (actor). Michael Gould is the Chairman and CEO of Bloomingdale's, a division of Federated Department Stores. Gould received his B.A. won over 10 grand - well done Michael - while Louise Scutts paid for all her birthday celebrations thanks to our boys. To the rest of you, many thanks, let's try and do it again. The big meeting is at Sandown where Johnny 'The Hat' Farrelly (right) rides both of ours TINO TINO (1.25) and JOAACI (3.35). He's so named - I'm reliably informed - because he goes everywhere in this weird hat that probably originated from Lapland - it makes him look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. I don't think Johnny's ever been to Lapland but, given his notoriety for getting lost on the motorway network, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't end up there once on the way to Sedgefield. Memo to jockey: 'The Sandown we are heading for is the London one Johnny - if you find yourself on the ferry to the Isle Of Wight Noun 1. Isle of Wight - an isle and county of southern England in the English Channel Wight county - (United Kingdom) a region created by territorial division for the purpose of local government; "the county has a population of 12,345 people" you are lost - AGAIN! Assuming he makes the gig, Johnny should enjoy a pair of decent rides. He rode Tino Tino brilliantly when he won at Warwick on the soft in February, but the horse went up a stone and wasn't able to get competitive at Bangor after that. 19-runners and plenty of weight here, but he's in good form and loves some cut in the ground.

He runs in dad's colours these days and is a real old fashioned chaser. He's been a bit in and out, but I haven't given up on him and if he's on the top of his game here he can win. Oh, did I mention he's for sale? We are busier at Chepstow beginning with another of DJ's horses, PAUILLAC in the 2.10. His retained jockey, Timmy Murphy, is in the plate and Pauillac will love the ground and is in good enough form at home to run well. His last run - at Exeter - was strange to say the least, but this is a talented horse on his day. Tom Scudamore rides PEUT ETRE ETRE European Technology Roundtable Exhibition ETRE East Texas Real Estate ETRE Elektrosviaz Telecommunications Radio Engineering SIVOLAwith top weight in the 3.15. He brought my winning Carlisle run to an end last month, when not getting home over three-and-a-quarter-miles on that stiff track. I forgive him and this will suit him better and - although he's got plenty of weight - Scu will ride him prominently. Last, but not least, comes MR BENNETT, who makes his hurdle debut in the 3.45. It looks quite a decent race but this one is working well. Owned and bred by Brian Kilpatrick of Sabin Sa·bin , Albert Bruce 1906-1993.

No runners tomorrow but one of our secretaries, Gemma Edwards, is being a bit coy about the chances of a horse her family owns - ACKHURST, who runs at the point-to-point at Tweseldown. They know what they are doing - Tony McCoy rode his first British winner on one of theirs, Chickabiddy at Exeter in 1994 - and I'm sure they will all be delighted now I've ruined the price by tipping him up to millions of winners like you - good luck! HERE'S a great picture of my very own 'A-Team', holding Madison Du Berlais' winner's rug from Saturday.

She was spotted at the local point-to-point the following day, consuming lots of anything that could be squeezed into in a glass. As I told you on Monday, I stayed up in Lambourn on Saturday night, but dad led the celebrations from home, taking the staff down to our local, the Culm Valley Inn, where Richard Hartley looked after them in time-honoured style. Just after the horses had arrived home last week, dad went into the tack room where he spotted Amy and said: "Well done Amy!" - as you do. It just so happens that Aimee Norris was also in there so they both thanked him - what are the chances of that happening? A surprised MCP (1) See Microsoft certification.

Amy Pipe? Dunno about that! THIS WEEKEND PIPE DREAMER RANGE ROVER was a good point-to-pointer and will be out later in the month. YARD NEWS Amy, Aimee and,er, Amy CAPTION(S): HAT Johnny |
