Sadly passed on. RIP
Yeah have to agree GDM maybe it was his on screen persona but I doubt itWasn’t looking at all well last time I saw him. A pretty malign and selfish man, I reckon.
Anyway, RIP.
My experience of meeting him is the very opposite.Wasn’t looking at all well last time I saw him. A pretty malign and selfish man, I reckon.

Ok, fair enough. Speak as you find etc..My experience of meeting him is the very opposite.
He was stood leaning on the rails of the paddock at Aintree just watching the horses being led around before the first race when I recognised him and said hello.
We chatted for a couple of minutes about the contenders and we both were taken by a grey novice hurdler named Desert Orchid. Wonder what happened to that horse?
He was very very gracious and had no ego at all when I spoke to him.
He had many faults but was a fun lover and deep down had a kind heart.
I, and Racing, will miss the big man.
