BTRFTG Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hugely popular & successful racehorse owner to boot. Lake View Lad & Many Clouds but two of his finest. Not sure what it'll mean for Preston but he'd already begun to scale down his racing operation & his passing could hit several NH yards real hard. Not so many old school types holding 'strings' as they used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) His racehorses stayed on their feet more often than his football players. And his silks were a terrible design - quarters! Who the hell thinks quarters are a good look????? That aside, I doff my flat cap to him - NH racing won't be the same without you sir, RIP.

East End Old Boy Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 His life story is worth reading, self made if I recall correctly and gave a lot back to the local community. Would rather watch his horses than PNE! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
