  • Great Sadness, but Magnificent Memories of Sir Henry Cecil
    Bringing Experienced Owners Together - Joining Forces to Buy Better Horses - Campaigning for Change BEST OF #32 JUNE 2013 THE BLOG Death of a Legend – Great Sadness, but Magnificent Memories of Sir Henry Cecil “Sir Henry was primus inter pares compared to other great trainers. Most definitely, first amongst equals. Not just because of what he achieved in training terms but through his charm, approachability and self-effacing dignity. A much loved person.” © Copyright 2012 - 2020 Owners for Owners www.ownersforowners.co.uk | [email protected] Bringing Experienced Owners Together Joining Forces to Buy Better Horses Campaigning for Change in Racing veryone connected to racing was hugely saddened following the death on 11th June 2013 of Sir Henry Cecil. It would be hard to think of anyone in our sport who has been so loved by the whole racing community. A huge loss, but also as the incredibly moving obituaries have emerged – particularly the E one by Alastair Down in the Racing Post – there has been such a sense of reflection on and celebration of a magnificent training career. This is bound to pervade the whole of Royal Ascot. Apparently there is going to be a minute’s silence when the meeting opens on Tuesday, and the Queen’s Vase on Friday will be formally run in his memory. It is actually difficult to grasp the enormity of his success since 1969, when he started training: 3,431 worldwide wins, 418 pattern races, 25 British Classic wins, 75 winners at Royal Ascot and 10 trainer titles. I’m sure we all have our own favourite horses from a career that spanned five decades.
