Desperate news that Liam Treadwell was found dead this morning. Such a shame and thoughts with friends and family
That's a gut punch. Journeyman jockey always capable when given the ammunition. Terrible news.
Just seen the news. Absolutely tragic.

Lord bless him and his poor family
Best wishes to anyone who feels that way too
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

RIP Stan Mellor.one of the greats.
Thanks,Jinny
Saw him ride at Donny and Nottingham back in the day.
IIRC, he also held the record for number of Jump winners for quite a while.
RIP Stan.
Stan rated his Galway Plate win on Ross Sea, referred to by Art on another thread as one of his best rides.
Landed in Galway the night before trainer Phonsie O'Brien asked Stan what he wanted to drink. "Beer please "came the reply. "Beer is boy's drink; have a man's drink !" replied Phonsie, handing him a large whiskey.
Needless to mention the following day poor Stan was the worse for wear. Not having ridden the track before he stuck to the inside and let the horse do the racing !
Rest In Peace.
Coral Pritchard-Gordon, long term partner to Sir Michael Stoute has died aged 73. V sad to read. I never met her but she always came across as a lovely lady and played a huge supporting role in his life and career.

Rose Loxton who was a major part of the success at Ditcheat has lost her battle with cancer. A truly lovely and massively talented lady, she trained a few point to pointers and hunter chasers in her spare time including most recently Caid du Berlais. I had interviewed her a few times and she was such a generous person to talk to. She will be hugely missed by her many, many friends and colleagues and the Pointing world has lost one of its brightest stars.
