Len Lungo broke the late Ken Oliver's Scottish record for the most wins in a National Hunt season. Lungo extended that record again in subsequent years setting a new personal best of 63 winners in season 2002-3. In the two seasons following, the number of winners dropped to 47 and 56, still comfortably ahead of any other Scottish trainer but disappointing by the high standards he sets himself.
