Clive Brittain (born 15 December 1934) is a retired British race-horse trainer. He started in racing as an apprentice jockey, then worked as a stable lad for Noel Murless for 23 years before becoming a licensed trainer in 1972.[1] During his 43-year career as a trainer in Newmarket, Suffolk, he won every British Classic except for the Derby.[1][2] In 1989, he saddled Terimon to finish second in the Derby at odds of 500-1.[2] His best-known horse was Pebbles, winner of the 1,000 Guineas in 1984 and the Breeders' Cup Turf in 1985.[2]
Brittain announced his retirement, aged 81, in September 2015, saying he wished to devote his time to looking after his wife. He sent out his final runner the following month.[1][2]
