He was 84. Thompson is best know for standing the successful stallion Pivotal (GB) (Polar Falcon) at his Newmarket base. Thompson is survived by his wife Patricia and their three children, Richard, Rosalind, and Katie and seven grandchildren. “David Thompson was a very generous, meticulous, sometimes unpredictable man, who always had a certain charm,” said Cheveley Park Stud Managing Director Chris Richardson. “He inspired everyone with his insatiable enthusiasm for business which, thankfully, included a love of racing and breeding, alongside his wife, Patricia and their family. He had tremendous foresight and would often ask a question, knowing full well the answer. I always tried to be prepared, as one never knew when the thrill and challenge of another equine adventure would catch his imagination. His latest venture into National Hunt racing, proved a huge success and gave him so much pleasure. “DBT’s recent visit to the Cheltenham Sale held in Newmarket, and to the stud, gave him and all here, so much joy. He certainly enriched the lives of all those he met and who knew him. He will be much missed.” More to follow….
