JENNY PITMAN
Trainer
Jenny is
well known
for her good
treatment
of horses
and whenever
she is asked
about the
chances that
her horses
have, she
always starts
with "Just
let them come
home safe
and the rest
will be a
bonus".
She does not
tolerate any
abuse of her
horses by
jockeys either,
and has been
known to swing
at them if
there was
any sign of
harm coming
to her horses.
She is always
patient with
horses and
never runs
them to make
a quick buck
but waits
until another
day when the
horse is well.
She is well
respected
in British
racing and
her patience
has paid her
back especially
in the Grand
National as
she has also
won the race
with Royal
Athlete in
1995 who was
another horse
with whom
she had to
be patient
- and who
could forget
that it was
her horse
who finished
first in the
1993 'Race
that never
was ' .
