Posted on by plane

Former trainer David Arbuthnot has won an award for his commitment to career development and support to the racing industry.  David, who trained for 38 years before retiring in 2019, was crowned the winner of the inaugural Racing Welfare Careers Advice and Training Service (CATS) Personal Development Award, funded by the Racing Foundation and sponsored by Hartpury University. 

The CATS Personal Development Award aims to recognise the person who has put the most dedication and effort into developing their career in racing after using the CATS service.  The judges were looking for someone who has been proactive and has taken every opportunity available to develop themselves in the racing industry.

A strong bank of entrants was put forward with three finalists invited to an awards lunch at the final meeting of the season at Newmarket Racecourse on Friday 29th October, at which David was revealed as the winner for his career switch to become a counsellor.
