These types of injuries take time and patience. It will be frustrating for Lily, as it has been for jockeys in a similar position but, she's young with strength and courage. If she has to miss a season or two, what does it matter? -

Sir Johnny Weatherby KCVO, owner-breeder and a member of one of racing's most distinguished families, has died at the age of 66. A seventh-generation member of the dynasty which has become synonymous with the administration of British racing and breeding, Weatherby owned Preston Lodge Stud in Oakham and was the breeder of dual Cheltenham Festival winner Presenting Percy as well as Top Wood, who won the Aintree Foxhunters' Chase in his colours during the 2019 Grand National meeting. A keen amateur jump jockey in his younger days, he was appointed chairman of the family firm Weatherbys in 1993, having started work at the company in 1979. His brother Roger is CEO of Weatherbys Banking Group. For nine years, until 2020, Weatherby served as Her Majesty's Representative at Ascot, where he had been chairman since 2008. He was knighted by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2020. In an interview with TDN in 2018, Weatherby spoke of his family's deep roots within the sport, which stretch back more than 250 years to when his forebear James Weatherby was appointed secretary of the Jockey Club and Keeper of the Match Book in 1770. He said, “My brother Roger and I are very proud of the longevity of our business and the constant connection with our family through seven generations, as well as our involvement with the origins of the thoroughbred. We are fully aware of our continuing responsibilities to the industry. Our role as custodians of the General Stud Book is very important to us. James Weatherby, the nephew of the business's founder, published the very first volume in 1791 – the founding record of the breed. That's a tangible, vital piece of Turf history, alongside the Racing Calendar, which we also still publish. Tesio enthusiastically referenced those two works as 'the most imposing and dependable source of information the world has ever known'.” A statement released by Weatherbys on Friday morning read, “It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Sir Johnny Weatherby who died yesterday aged 66 following a life of peerless service to horseracing. “Sir Johnny was a figure of immense stature within our sport. “From his early days as an amateur jockey for David Nicholson to his transformative tenure as Chairman of Weatherbys (1993 – 2022) and his distinguished service as Her Majesty's Representative at Ascot (2011 – 2020), he embodied the very best of the Turf's traditions, while driving the industry into the modern era. “A Member of the Jockey Clubs of both Britain and the USA and Chairman of the International Stud Book Committee, Johnny was a global ambassador for the Thoroughbred. “Yet, he will be remembered most by his friends and peers for his energy, foresight, ambition and unwavering dedication to the integrity of the sport. “He was a man who moved with equal ease through every corner of the racing world. “His loss leaves a significant gap in the administrative and social heart of the industry. “The Weatherby family has requested privacy at this time.” The post ‘A Life of Peerless Service to Horseracing’: Sir Johnny Weatherby Dies at 66 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

I note the win pools down on last year at Ascot Park, a mare race last year reached 17000, this year best is 12 for the Cup, but remember the up to 5 grand on fixed would be impacting, but I do think this meeting supposedly southlands best has been demoted a bit by Ashburton on Sunday a big percentage of the money in stakes left Southland, and as usual it's the well run larger establishments doing it, a smaller number taking the vast majority of the spoils. -
