BREEDER, INDUSTRY 2021/22 National Hunt Yearbook
PROFESSIONAL OR WELCOME from the TBA NH Committee Chairman
ENTHUSIAST, TBA
2021 proved to be another year in which the pandemic impacted our lives;
but at least the continuation of racing, along with the appearance of foals
conceived during the once-threatened covering season of 2020 and the
MEMBERSHIP OFFERS return of spectators to the racecourse and auctions, brought back some of
the things likely to matter to those reading this. It was wonderful too that this
MANY BENEFITS. year we were able to have a ‘real life’ meeting with fellow breeding fanatics at
the NH Breeders’ Awards Evening in August at Doncaster. Most attendees
thought it was the best ever, and the chance to catch up with old friends
played no small part in this.
We are delighted to present the TBA NH Yearbook for the 2021/22 season, which once again
highlights what the TBA does for the National Hunt industry. As usual, updated details of the TBA/
HBLB Elite NH Mares’ Scheme are featured, along with details of the record number of stallions
available under the scheme, which offers fantastic incentives for owners of the best jump mares to
use British-based stallions. A nomination to each stallion will also be available to breeders via the
TBA’s online Silent Auction, which is staged in January – contact the TBA office for more information.
An exciting development covered in detail is the NH Early Racing Initiative, which seeks to improve the
development of young Jump horses in this country – full details can be found on page 18. We hope you will
‘read all about it’ and then consider it for young horses you are planning to race in future.
In addition, we give an update on the Great British Bonus (GBB), which launched last year and is now
GBB discounts starting to transform the prospects for British-bred NH fillies (and hopefully their breeders!).
Third party public liability policy* We hope you enjoy reading this Yearbook, that you have a successful breeding season and, above all
else, that we will find you healthy, happy and having fun at a future TBA National Hunt event.

When asked for his most pleasing moment, Cole nominated Dubacilla’s half-length defeat of Rough
Quest in the 1994 Comet Chase as his proudest moment, saying: “Giving him 18lb was a great day - she
beat a future Grand National winner giving away that much weight.”
Luck noted that Cole had run the gamut of the game and made the life of a National Hunt breeder
sound a damn sight more exciting than anyone thinks it could be, Cole’s retort was that it was better
than milking cows, before adding: “I milked for 44 years and the horses have been great fun, they took me
everywhere and I have met everyone, it’s been wonderful.”
What made Cole’s achievements all the more remarkable is the fact that not only did he breed the
pair but was also the owner and the trainer of both.
Cole’s daughter Louise Farrance managed to keep the award a surprise from her father and after
emotionally conveying she was very proud, picked out the family’s highlight, saying: “Coming second in
the Grand National. The guys from the press came down and it was if we had won it - we ran the local pub dry
and partied for weeks after.”
Whilst quite rightly the achievements of the two siblings were celebrated, the family has kept
producing. Dubacilla threw four winners from ten foals, including the eight-time winner and dual

Whilst there have been multiple winning
mares of the Dudgeon Cup, there lies only one
breeding entity that so far has achieved the
notable feat, that of Robin and Scarlett Knipe.

stallions Ardross and Oats, both of whom were
influential in their Dudgeon Cup winners. Miss
