IT'S A BIG OCCASION FOR PIPE.

Big Occasion gave trainer David Pipe a third successive victory in the Betfred Midlands Grand National when cruising home in the Uttoxeter marathon.

The six-year-old, the youngest winner of this extreme test in living memory, powered clear of the opposition in the testing conditions from the third-last.

The well-backed 6-1 shot won by six lengths from Rebeccas Choice (20-1) with One In A Milan (8-1) 10 lengths away in third.
WINTER DERBY JOY FOR FARRAAJ.

Straight after winning the Spring Cup on Teophilip, jockey Andrea Atzeni completed a quick big-race double when driving Farraaj to a hard-fought triumph in the Group Three Blue Square Bet Winter Derby at Lingfield.

After getting the better of Cai Shen, Robin Hoods Bay made the 6-4 favourite work hard in the final half-furlong but Farraaj's class shone through as Roger Varian's four-year-old prevailed by half-a-length.
