Eighth double century for Pipe Britain`s champion trainer Martin Pipe reached 200 winners for the eighth time when Nouveau Cheval won the Sprotbrough Claiming Hurdle at Doncaster today.Ridden by Tom Scudamore, the seven-year-old beat by Prelude To Fame at odds of 5-4.But he failed by six days to equal his quickest ever 200 of two years ago when he completed a double century on February 23rd.The Nicholashayne trainer first reached the landmark in the 1988/9 campaign and is the only jumps handler ever to do so.Pipe missed out on the magical figure last term in a season ravaged by the foot and mouth epidemic but the 11-time champion trainer has spared no effort in getting back on track.He is the winning-most trainer of all time with well over 3,000 successes under National Hunt rules.
