David "Dandy" Nicholls graduated to training after retiring from a successful career in the saddle, riding more than 400 winners.
The down-to-earth Yorkshireman has since established a reputation as one of the best trainers of sprinters in the business.
"The sprint king's" first Group One winner was in the five-furlong Nunthorpe Stakes in 1997 and he has made the six-furlong Ayr Gold Cup his own, winning it for the last three years.
He saddled the first two home in the six-furlong July Cup in 2002 with winner Continent going on to collect another Group One, the five-furlong Prix de l'Abbaye.
Nicholls had his best season in 2002, breaking through the £1m in prize money barrier for the first time.
