The Gloucestershire WI Racing Club Trainers’ Championship aims to raise the profile of Gloucestershire based Jumps trainers and reward the overall winner of the 2018-19 Jumps season.
Each of the Jumps Trainers within the county has been allocated a ‘handicap’ rating based on their number of horses in training and their number of runners and winners in recent seasons. Points were accrued for winners trained around the country from 1st October 2018 to 18th April 2019 with double points awarded for a Cheltenham winner or any winner priced at 25-1 or more.
This year we awarded Ben Pauling as the overall winner of a hamper and £300 in cash for the third time (in 2013/14 and 2015/16).
