Brian, winner of the 2006 Pride of Racing Award died on Sunday night at his home in Newbury, he was 68. He leaves a wife Lorna, and their son and two daughters. His funeral is to be held in Lambourn - Berkshire, on Thursday-week, May 22nd 2008. Please telephone Rowan at the Racing Welfare Office at Lambourn 01488 670034 for further details.

He was a very calm, quiet and kind man who never failed in his support for all those working in the British Horseracing Industry during their most difficult times. He will be sadly missed as there are few such people left in the industry who's actions and kindness have made such a difference.
