Funny, Considering the Number of Entries I Thought He Retired Years Ago
I got the following earth shattering, and self-serving, news this morning.....
Michael Dickinson will not be applying for a Trainers License in 2008 I need 100% of my time to concentrate on Tapeta Footings. I spent most of last winter overseas and 50% of my time this summer visiting Tapeta installations in 5 countries, which obviously leaves little time for training. I have been concerned for sometime about the welfare of horses racing on unsuitable surfaces and really want repay the horse in my own small way.

I've always liked Dickinson. A legendary jumps trainer. I like that the welfare of the horse has always been his first emphasis, from the setup of his stable, to his gallops, and his work on developing Tapeta.

The guy won about 1 race every 5 months with a full barn. Im sure he will be sorely missed
Welfare of his horses, maybe that would explain why his runners averaged about 4 starts a year. That or the great surface they trained over

Well then you guys should be happy he's gone, and not around clouding your forms with horses to readily bet against
