US 20020149166 A1Abstract
A skateboard for use on pavement, ice or snow using a single narrow-footprint wheel, ice-blade or ski-runner attached to each foot, thus requiring the rider to dynamically balance the board. The skateboard is capable of self-propulsion at considerable speed on the flat or uphill by using an undulating motion. It can also lean up to 30 degrees and has a steering circle of only two feet. The board's construction comprises a front footboard, a rear footboard, and a strut which connects the two footboards and resists bending and extension. Each footboard includes a footpad, an attachment (i.e. a wheel, blade or ski), and a pivot joint connecting to the strut. The axis of this joint is aligned perpendicular to the footpad which allows the rider to steer each footboard independently by torsionally rotating the lower leg. Images(6) Claims(13)

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable. REFERENCE TO A MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention relates to skateboards, or more generally, to devices for human locomotion involving rolling or sliding, on which the rider stands with one foot ahead of the other and controls the direction of travel by articulation of the feet. [0005] The classic skateboard design consists of a substantially rigid board elongated in the direction of travel having two wheel-sets mounted fore and aft to the underside of the board. These two wheel-sets, which each have two coaxial wheels spaced approximately 8 inches apart, are attached to the board using skateboard “trucks” which steer the wheels in response to left/right tilting of the board. The trucks also provide a spring-effect to resist tilting. [0006] This method of steering has three deficiencies: limited steering travel, dynamic instability, and the inability to steer the two wheel-sets independently. The first two problems are inter-related. Large steering travel could be achieved with minimal tilting, but this would exacerbate the dynamic stability. At high speeds skateboards are prone to “death-wobble” in which the board steers left and right with increasing amplitude until the rider falls. [0007] The third deficiency, lack of fore-aft steering independence, results from the use of a rigid board. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,082,306, Sheldon discloses this solution: cut the board in half and re-connect the fore and aft portions with a torsion bar. This allows the rider to tilt the front and rear trucks independently. While this provides additional mobility, for instance the ability to crab side-ways, it offers no improvement in steering travel or minimum turning radius. [0008] In U.S. Pat. No. 4,955,626, Smith, Fisher and King describe a radically different type of skateboard. This invention is now a market success and is commonly referred to by its trade-name: “Snakeboard”. In this invention, the rider places his feet on two foot-platforms which are pivotably connected to a spacer element. The front and rear wheel-sets are positioned directly under the two foot pads, and steering is achieved by directly swiveling each foot pads about its vertical pivot axis. This arrangement provides independence of front and rear steering and a much greater range of steering angle than is practical with skateboard trucks. A key advantage of this invention is the ability to efficiently self-propel the board using a snake-like undulating motion. Since pushing off on the ground is unnecessary, the Snakeboard may be strapped to the rider's feet, which allows a range of jumps and tricks not possible with the conventional skateboard. [0009] A significant problem with the Snakeboard is an inherent steering instability. This makes the board considerably more difficult to learn than the classic skateboard. Skateboards, snowboards, skis, surfboards and bicycles all have a tendency to steer in the direction of lean, which provides a natural self-righting effect. On a Snakeboard, however, the opposite is true. [0010] The instability in this case is due to the outward (fore-aft) force on the two foot pads resulting from the rider's legs being spread apart. With weight balanced between toe and heel, there is no steering torque, but weighting the heels causes the outward force to be applied at the heels, resulting in a steering torque toward the toes. Similarly, weighting the toes results in a steering torque in the direction of the heels. [0011] A second problem with the Snakeboard, as well as the classic skateboard is the sensitivity of the steering to road debris. If, for example the front right wheel hits a small pebble, the board will abruptly steer to the right. [0012] A third problem is the trade-off between wheel diameter, height of the board and degree to which the board can be tilted. Ideally, the board should have large wheels, be as low as possible to the ground and be able to lean into a turn. With wheels mounted directly under foot, the Snakeboard cannot have large wheels and be low to the ground unless the wheels of each wheel-set are spaced very far apart. This solution adds excessive inertia about the steering axis. [0013] The ability to lean or tilt the board provides for more natural and graceful motion and is a desirable feature for all skateboards. For this reason, the Snakeboard uses a spring-loaded tilt plate between each foot platform and wheel-set. As is also the case for the classic skateboard, additional height is required to allow the board to tilt without hitting the wheels. [0014] Many of these problems are remedied by Barachet's two-wheel skateboard, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,160,155. This invention has a substantially rigid platform with a castering wheel in the front and a fixed wheel toward the rear. The rider stands with one foot ahead and the other behind the rear wheel. Steering of the front wheel results from tilting the board using the same principle which allows a bicycle to be ridden no-handed. While this device allows significant lean, has relatively large wheels, and is insensitive to road debris, it is less maneuverable and controllable than the Snakeboard, and is very inefficient at undulating self-propulsion. These deficiencies result from having indirect control over the front wheel, and no ability to steer the rear wheel. [0015] With regard to skateboards for snow travel, there are several references in the prior art. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,613,695 Fu-Pin Yu describes a skateboard using Snakeboard-type steering with a single wide ski attached fore and aft in place of the two wheel-sets. This device would probably work reasonably well on fluffy snow, but on packed snow with the board tilted, turning the leading ski into the turn causes the leading edge to dig in to the snow, thus upsetting the rider. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,474 Hsiu-Ying Yeh presents a similar ski-board as a variation on his “folding skateboard”. In this case two skis are used under each foot instead of a single wide ski but again, the steering is unstable when the board is banked in a turn. Both Yu's and Yeh's inventions have a wide footprint and thus do not have the desired challenge of having to dynamically balance the board. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0016] The object of this invention is to provide a skateboard which can be self-propelled without pushing off on the ground while also providing low frictional resistance, insensitivity to surface roughness, good dynamic stability, the ability to significantly tilt the board in a turn, and the challenge of balancing the board. [0017] Of the prior art, the present invention most closely resembles the Snakeboard, the primary difference being the use of a single wheel, ice-blade or ski-runner attached to each foot-pad. This allows the foot pads to tilt much further in a turn without requiring small wheel diameter or excessive height of the board off the ground. With the wheels or runners in line with the steering axis, surface irregularities do not affect the steering. Larger diameter wheels provide lower rolling resistance and less vibration on rough roads. For full off-road capability, the foot-pads can be mounted inside large diameter pneumatic wheels using large-bore thin-style bearings. [0018] The present invention also solves the steering instability of the Snakeboard. Since the center of foot pressure never moves significantly away from the center of the foot pad, the outward (fore-aft) force due to the legs being spread apart causes a negligible steering torque. [0019] Lastly, the invention provides an exciting challenge in that it is not statically stable. Just as a bicycle is relatively more interesting and more graceful to ride than a tricycle, the two-wheel invention has advantage over the four-wheel Snakeboard. [0020] For use on pavement, the preferred embodiment uses two wheels, each approximately four inches in diameter. Each wheel is mounted centrally on the underside of a foot-pad such that the direction of motion is perpendicular to the heel-toe axis of each foot-pad. The foot pads are spaced apart a distance approximately � the inseam leg-length of the rider by means of a strut with pivot joints at either end providing pivot axes perpendicular to the surfaces of the respective foot-pads. The strut is substantially rigid in bending so as to resist the bending moment that would otherwise cause an ankle-spraining rotation about each heel-toe axis. In torsion, the strut is relatively flexible to prevent the steering torque which would otherwise result if the rider weighted the heel of one foot and the toe of the other. Torsional flexibility is achieved using a flexure such as a thin-wall I-beam, or use of a torsional swivel joint. [0021] The present invention is easier to learn to steer and balance than the Snakeboard, but may be more difficult to learn to self-propel. In one form of the invention, two detachable training wheels would be mounted co-axially with the primary wheel of each foot pad, and spaced apart by approximately 8 inches. Variations of the invention would provide for training wheels on just one of the two foot pads, spring loading the wheels, variable spacing, or variable height. [0022] A partial list of additional enhancements to the invention is as follows: adjustable stops to prevent excessive rotation of the foot-pads, foot-straps to allow jumps and tricks, a dedicated boot/binding system, boots permanently attached, a wear-plate on the underside of the strut to allow “grinding” tricks, springs to align the wheels when the foot-pads are unloaded, a torsional spring in the strut to hold the two foot-pads coplanar while mounting the board, a wheel-cavity in the underside of the foot-pads to maximize the wheel diameter while minimizing overall height, suspension of the wheels to dampen vibration and road shocks, and a cable-activated hand brake. [0023] For use on ice or snow, the wheels may be replaced by an ice-blade or snow ski runner. The use of a pivoting connection to the footpad assembly allows line contact to be maintained when the board is banked in a turn rather than having the leading edge dig in as is the case in the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0038] The following description presents three preferred embodiments of the invention labeled I, II, III and IV for use on smooth pavement, rough surfaces, ice and snow, respectively. Additional variations and possible enhancements are also described. [0039] Embodiment I shown in FIGS. 1-7 includes a front footboard 1, a rear footboard 2 and strut 3 which connects the two footboards. The rider stands with one foot centered over each footboard and steers by pivoting one or both feet about the two vertical steering axes B. The strut in this case serves three functions: it restrains moments about the heel-toe axes D which would otherwise cause the ankle to turn, it supplies the inward force which would otherwise require excessive exertion of the rider's inner thigh muscles, and it reduces the risk of knee injury by limiting the steering travel. To minimize unwanted steering torque it is also desirable for the two footboards to tilt independently. This is achieved by allowing torsional rotation of the strut about the axis C. [0040] The two footboards each include a footpad 4, an extruded bracket 5 and a wheel-set 6. The preferred assembly of the footboard is best seen in the exploded view of FIG. 4. The wheel-set in this case includes a wheel-body 7, internal bearing spacer 8, wheel bearings 9, outer spacers 10, wheel axle 11 and axle retaining screw 12. This construction is typical of wheels used in scooters and in-line skates. The wheel-set assembles to the bracket by inserting the wheel-body, bearings and spacers into an elongated hole 13, then inserting the wheel axle through hole 14 and locking it in place with the retaining screw. To allow the use of a large diameter wheel while avoiding excessive height of the footpads off the ground, a second elongated hole 15 is provided which allows the wheel to protrude through the top of the bracket as shown in FIG. 5. A substantially rigid and planar footpad 4 measuring approximately 5 by 12 inches attaches to the bracket using four screws 16 inserted through clearance holes 17 into threaded holes 18 on the top surface of the bracket. A relieved area on the underside of the footpad is provided to avoid interference with the wheel, and on the top, a high-friction surface is provided to minimize foot slippage. [0041] The material of the footpad is preferably a high quality plywood, though other options include fiberglass, injection molded plastic, sheet metal, aluminum extrusion, and aluminum die-casting. As shown in the figures, the bracket is preferably made from an aluminum extrusion, but the same function could be achieved by a wide variety of processes including die-casting, injection molding, and stamping; the preferred materials being aluminum, fiber-reinforced plastic and steel, respectively. [0042] For the rider to mount the skateboard, the preferred method is to tilt both footpads fully toward the heel edge, place both feet heel-first onto the foot-pads, then flatten both feet simultaneously and start an undulating motion. For this method to be used, the foot pads should be allowed to tilt about 30 degrees before hitting the ground. Less clearance increases the likelihood of having the footpad scrape the ground in a hard turn, and higher clearance makes the board difficult to mount. [0043] Since the average person has a slightly toe-out stance, maximum steering travel in both directions is achieved if the feet are slightly toe-out with respect to the wheel axes. This could be achieved by using a large footpad and allowing the rider to place her feet appropriately within the footpad, but to minimize weight and maximize ground clearance while tilting the board, the preferred solution is to mount each footpad such that the heel-toe axis D is toe-out approximately 15 degrees with respect to the wheel axis A, as shown in FIG. 3. [0044] Each footboard connects to the strut by means of a pivot bearing assembly 19 which includes a pair of flange bearings 20, a pivot axle 21 and a roll pin 22. The flange bearings are inserted to the top and bottom inside surfaces of the extruded bracket at through-hole 23. The pivot-head 24 of half-strut 25 fits between the two flange bearings and is pivotably held by the pivot axle. To keep the pivot axle from falling out, the roll pin is driven into a transverse hole 26 in the pivot-head, engaging a cylindrical indent 27 in the pivot axle. The recessed sidewalls 56 of the extrusion provide a stop which restricts the rotation of the footboard to +/−50 degrees with respect to the strut. [0045] To minimize steering torque, the pivot axis B of each footboard would ideally be in the center of the footpad. This is possible using bearings between the footpad and the wheel, but at the expense of greater height, and/or reduction in wheel diameter. Use of a single large diameter rolling-element bearing encircling the wheel is also possible, but is relatively expensive and heavy. Experiments have shown that placement of the pivot axis as shown in FIG. 3 has minimal effect on the dynamics of the skateboard. Placement of the foot with respect to the wheel axis A is far more important. If anything, the placement of the pivot axis as described has a stabilizing influence since the outward splaying force due to the rider's legs being spread tends to straighten the wheels. [0046] Experiments have further shown that rolling element bearings are unnecessary for the pivot axes. The preferred material for the flange bearings is steel-backed Teflon, though other sliding bearing materials such as sintered bronze, Rulon, Vespel and MDS-filled Nylon could also be used. [0047] To allow the two footboards to tilt independently, as in FIG. 2, the two half-struts are connected by the swivel-axle 28 providing torsional rotation about axis C. The swivel-axle is threaded on both ends, and each end is screwed into a countersunk, threaded hole 29 of the half-strut. Bending loads on the strut, which result from foot pressure fore or aft of the heel-toe axes D, are restrained primarily by the unthreaded shank of the swivel axle bearing on the countersunk portion of hole 29. The sliding interface is preferably lined with a low friction material such as Teflon, Nylon, Delrin or sintered bronze, or alternatively, the hole 29 of each half-strut can be loaded with a lubricant such as grease, Teflon or graphite. [0048] A desirable feature of the invention is to provide variable spacing between the two footboards. This is conveniently achieved by screwing the swivel-axle more or less deeply into the mating holes 29 of the two half-struts, as shown in FIG. 6. [0049] Many other methods could be used to provide a swivel joint which is stiff and strong in bending. For instance, the strut could be a 1″ diameter tube with a short (˜1.5″) cylindrical flanged stub inserted into each end and a small-diameter threaded rod connecting the two stubs. Each stub would also have a transverse hole which would serve the same function of the pivot-head 24. By using thread-locking adhesive on the threaded rod, the strut would be a permanent assembly. The threaded rod would also act as a torsion rod providing a light spring force tending to equalize the tilt angle of the two footboards. [0050] As shown, the strut is preferably CNC machined from an aluminum alloy such as 6061, 2024 or 7075. Other options include plastic injection molding with or without fiber reinforcement, a steel tube with welded fittings, a machined aluminum extrusion, or aluminum die-casting. [0051] A second method of allowing the two footboards to tilt independently is to use a flexure which is stiff in bending, but relatively flexible in torsion. An example of such a flexure is the I-beam strut 30 shown in FIG. 5. Other cross-sections such as the U, C or T also provide this effect. To provide the desired torsional deflection of 10-20 degrees without excessively thin wall-thickness, it is desirable to use an engineering polymer such as Delrin, Nylon, Polycarbonate or ABS. Reinforcement with glass or other fibers may also be helpful, especially if fibers are aligned axially as in the pultrusion process. [0052] While the skateboard of FIGS. 1-3 is easy to learn to balance and steer, it may be more difficult to learn to self-propel than the four-wheeled Snakeboard. For this reason, training wheels 31 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, are advantageous. These wheels would have a similar axle and bearing assembly as for the center wheel, and could be mounted using U-shaped yokes 32 to the underside of the footpads. Ideally, the training wheels are also adjustable in wheelbase, height, and stiffness with respect to the footpad. An example of wheelbase adjustment is shown in FIG. 6 wherein additional mounting holes 33 are provided in the footpad. Screws 34 pass through the holes and engage threads in the yokes. Height and stiffness are adjustable by using rubber shims of various thickness and hardness between the yokes and the footpad. [0053] Embodiment II, shown in FIGS. 8-10, provides lower rolling resistance and a smoother ride, especially on rough or unpaved terrain. In this case each footboard 35 includes a hollow wheel 36 with diameter approximately 10 inches, a footpad 37 encircled by the wheel, and a wheel-core 38 which supports the wheel to the footpad and provides a yoke 39 to which the half-strut 40 is pivotably attached. The wheel in this case comprises a solid or pneumatic tire 41 attached to a tire-rim 42 supported by a large diameter thin-style ball-bearing 43. The inner bore of the bearing is attached to the outer rim 44 of the wheel-core. Platform 45 of the wheel-core supports the footpad and provides threaded mounting holes accepting the four footpad attachment screws. [0054] Large, thin-style ball-bearings tend to be expensive. As an alternative, the bearing races could be stamped from sheet metal which would also serve as the tire-rim 42 and the outer rim 44 of the wheel core. A second method of reducing cost would be to use at least three smaller idler wheels supporting the tire-rim to the wheel core. In this case the tire-rim would preferably have a V-shaped rail on its inner circumference which engages a female V-shape cross-section of the idler wheels. [0055] As in Embodiment I, Embodiment II uses a torsionally flexible or swiveling strut, however, in this case each half-strut 40 has an additional curve 46 to provide clearance for steering the wheel. A cutout 47 in each footpads is also needed to allow the desired steering travel of +/−45 to 50 degrees. With respect to the pivot and swivel axes B and C, the parts and assembly are similar to those of the first embodiment. Due to the strut's more complex geometry the preferred manufacturing method is die-casting from aluminum alloy, or injection molding of fiber-reinforced plastic, though other methods are also possible such as bending a tube and welding on the pivot-head. [0056] Embodiment III, shown in FIGS. 11-13 is essentially the same as Embodiment I except that the two wheel-sets 6 are replaced by two ice-blades 48. Each ice-blade includes an ice-runner 49 consisting of a hard material such as steel with thickness approximately ⅛ inch, having a sharp edge or edges and curved slightly to reduce steering torque. Each rocker-blade also has a stiffening rib 50, and a mounting hole 51 which accepts the same axle 11 and axle retaining screw 12 as in Embodiment I. The stiffening rib is angled to restrict the rocking motion about axis A to approximately +/−10 degrees to avoid interference between the blade and the strut. It should be noted that the rocking motion is essential to avoid having the tip of the front blade dig into the ice if the skateboard is banked in a turn. [0057] Fabrication of the ice-blade as shown in FIGS. 11-13 is achieved by investment casting. For higher volume production other options would be lower cost. For instance, the steel blade could be molded into a plastic part. [0058] Embodiment IV replaces each rocker-blade with a ski-runner 52 for use on snow. As with the rocker-blade, the ski-runner attachment is interchangeable with the wheel-sets of Embodiment 1. The ski-runner has a mounting hole 55, angled surfaces 53 and 54 to limit the rocking motion, and an upturned tip 56 and tail 57 to allow travel in either direction. The ski-runner is preferably made of foam or wood coated with glass-fiber, however many other processes are appropriate including injection molding, aluminum extrusion, and die-casting. For use on hard-packed or icy snow, the use of steel edges would be advantageous. The ski-runners may also be curved or designed to flex into a curved shape to reduce steering effort. [0059] Use of the invention is best described as it relates to Embodiment 1. In this case, the board is first set on the pavement with the heel side of the footpads resting on the ground. The rider steps heel-first onto the first footpad, and then onto the second footpad, while still weighting the heels. To initiate self propulsion to the right, the rider leans left, accelerates the upper body to the right, then rocks the footboards up onto the wheels. This provides a small initial velocity. The rider then begins an undulating motion wherein each wheel follows a substantially sinusoidal path while the rider applies greater downward and outward pressure to whichever wheel is moving away from the centerline of travel. At low speeds, this procedure looks like a shuffling motion with the two feet out of phase with each other. At higher speeds the rider can still use the shuffling motion, or can bring the two feet nearly into phase. In this mode, the rider is effectively surging up and down dynamically increasing the weight on both wheels as they steer away from the centerline, and lightening the board as it steers back to center. Other modes are also possible in which the propulsion comes primarily from the leading foot, from the trailing foot or from the torso. [0060] Compared to the prior art, the present invention provides superior maneuverability, efficient self-propulsion, lower rolling resistance, less sensitivity to the surface irregularities, and the challenge of having to balance the board dynamically. The invention provides an excellent way to improve coordination, as well as a form of aerobic exercise.

London 2012 Olympics tickets will be printed in US and flown to Britain | Daily Mail Online
So much for the green Olympic Games: Tickets will be printed in the U.S. and flown to Britain
Updated: 17:42 EDT, 7 February 2012
Tickets for the London 2012 Olympics will be printed in the USA and shipped 4,500 miles back to Britain.
A multi-million-pound contract to print the tickets has controversially been awarded to a firm based in America.
The decision to hand the deal to the ‘Wild West’ town of Fort Smith, in Arkansas, was branded ‘a kick in the guts to British firms’ and flies in the face of a pledge to be ‘the greenest Games ever’.
Gaffe: Boris Johnson and Lord Coe pose with Olympians Carl Lewis, Rebecca Adlington to promote tickets for London 2012. It has now emerged they will be printed in the U.S.

British ticketholders will then be charged a £6 delivery charge to receive their tickets in the post.
The revelation comes just days after the Mail revealed that just nine per cent of £1bn worth of Olympics merchandise has been produced in the UK.
Tony Hallet, account manager at CCS McLays, one of the UK’s leading print brokers, said he did not believe any UK companies had been asked to pitch for the contract.
The news makes a mockery of claims the London games would be the greenest Olympics ever
He said: ‘It is typical of our country. The Yanks would never give it to us, or, if the Olympics were in France UK companies would not get the contract.’ He added that home-grown companies could have easily coped with the high volume of tickets.
Arkansas is the birthplace of singer Johnny Cash and President Bill Clinton, who also served as governor of the southern state for 12 years.

Andrew Cave, spokesman for the Federation of Small Businesses, said: ‘Businesses in Britain will be wondering what the benefits are of hosting the Olympics when so many contracts are being awarded abroad.
‘This was supposed to be the greenest Olympics in history, but it is not very environmentally friendly to ship the tickets half way across the world.
‘The Games should have been used as a showroom for British industry, so it is extremely disappointing that even the tickets have been procured overseas.’
Integrity, one of the UK’s leading printing companies which has supplied tickets for Premiership football matches and major rugby matches, said they had been asked to print other forms for London 2012, but not tickets.
Lawrence Webb, UKIP’s candidate for London Mayor, said: ‘We were sold the idea of the London Olympics on the basis that it would benefit the British and London economy but this latest development is just another empty promise.
‘This is a kick in the guts to British firms who would have been desperate to secure such a lucrative contract but it looks like they did not even get the opportunity to bid.

‘There seems to be a track record in this country of not putting British businesses first.
‘We have seen it with Bombardier in Derby and now we are seeing it with the London Olympics where an American company gets the contract to print tickets.’
A spokesman for London 2012 organisers Locog said: ‘The contract to print tickets was awarded following a thorough, competitive and open tender run through Compete For (tendering website).
‘As with all of our contracts, a number of criteria are considered including the experience of working on projects of this scale, security, ability to handle large amounts of data and value for money.
‘Across the project, the Games has been good news for UK plc with 95 per cent of contracts going to British business.’
Weldon, Williams & Lick’s clients includes US-owned Ticketmaster, the agency which runs London 2012’s ill-fated ticket sales website.
Last week, it emerged that 17 items out of 194 sold on the official website were made in the UK.
China made 62 per cent of the merchandise, Turkey made nine per cent and the Philippines made four per cent.
Countries such as India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, Poland, Slovakia and Germany made the rest, including T-shirts, bags, hats, toys and games.
Even firms which have been established in UK for up to 250 years, including Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Johnson Brothers and Dartington Crystal, produced much of their merchandise abroad.

Ben Pauling primes Barters Hill for Doncaster clash with Up For Review
• Trainer aims to slow down the Willie Mullins bandwagon
• Cheltenham Festival market leaders set to meet on Saturday

Ben Pauling laughs at the suggestion that Barters Hill, the only favourite for an open novice hurdle at Cheltenham in March that is not trained by Willie Mullins, was spirited away from under the Irish champion’s nose at Tattersalls’ sales ring at Fairyhouse in June 2013.
“I don’t think he was quite in Willie Mullins’s mind when we bought him,” Pauling says. “He was a very big, weak rangy individual that I bought because I thought I liked what he could become, not necessarily what he was at the time. He was very big and backward, to the point where in his first year there was no point even thinking about going to a racecourse because he wouldn’t have coped at all.”
Barters Hill cost just €16,000, a fraction of the sums that often change hands for young jumping prospects in the French provinces. Two and a half years later he is unbeaten in six starts including the Grade One Challow Novice Hurdle and a Grade Two bumper at Aintree in April. The Challow Hurdle success was also the first Grade One win of Pauling’s training career, which started a couple of months after Barters Hill arrived in the yard.
“It’s a lovely feeling to know that we bought him as an unbroken store and he’s become what he was, for not a lot of money,” Pauling says. “I’m not saying you could do it every day of the week but it’s lovely that he’s been with us since day one.
“Once he was strong enough, then very quickly, the more you did with him, the better he became, and he just keeps improving the whole time. Every single race he posts a better figure and that’s the sort of horse you want to have on your side. Every question you ask of him he seems to come up with the answers quite handsomely.”
Barters Hill powered 12 lengths clear of the runner-up in the Challow at Newbury in December, which was enough to send him to the top of the market for the Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham on 17 March. It is a position he will be forced to defend on Saturday, however, when Up For Review, the inevitable contender from the Mullins stable, is among his probable opponents in a valuable event at Doncaster.
Pauling had an alternative target for Barters Hill the same afternoon at Cheltenham, which is just a few miles from his yard in Gloucestershire, but opted for Doncaster in the expectation of better ground. The appearance of Up For Review, who is just a point longer in the ante-post Albert Bartlett betting at a top price of 5-1, was more difficult to predict but the trainer is confident that his six-year-old is up to the task.
“We’re running on good to soft, good in places at Doncaster tomorrow [Friday],” Pauling said. “They’re due a fair whack of rain on Friday night but they’ll save some ground for Saturday and I’d imagine it will be good-to-soft and soft. Compared with what we’ve been racing on over the last few weeks, that’s brilliant and with the amount of rain we’ve had, I’m sure it’s going to go heavy [at Cheltenham].
“Better ground at Doncaster means it will be a more suitable prep run, even if he had to pull out all the stops to beat Up For Review. He’s a horse that comes out of his races well and, even if we had to walk for two weeks afterwards to put the spark back into him if he had a hard race, we’ve got the time to do it. Cheltenham is around the corner but it’s not tomorrow.”
Simply fielding the favourite for a Grade One at the Festival would be a major achievement for a trainer at such an early stage of his career. Victory in March could be life-changing, not least if Pauling is plugging the dam against a flood of winners from County Carlow.
“It will be three years in August since we started,” Pauling says. “We started with only eight horses and now we’ve got 45. I never expected him to be this good. You can’t expect that and it’s very rare, so we’ll just enjoy him while we’ve got him.
“He gallops and grinds and, if he gets to the foot of the hill [at Cheltenham] in front, it will take a very good one to go by him. All he does is gallop to the line and every time he’s been in a race nothing has been able to go with him.
“Hopefully he can finish off his prep for Cheltenham this weekend and then go there flying the flag for the British novices.”
