Sadly, by the time Dave had his only success Alan Oughton had died of cancer, so his widow Diane now held the trainer’s licence and ran the stable. Dave scored on one of her horses when Blameless Stall comfortably beat Regal Jump, ridden by Viv Percival, by ten lengths in the Maudlin Opportunity Handicap Hurdle at Fontwell Park on October 16, 1972.

Blameless Stall did not run again until February, when unplaced at Fontwell Park, and it was on this horse that Dave had his final ride when finishing third in the Don Butchers Challenge Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton on March 7, 1973, albeit a long way behind the first two.
