Richard Woollacott, trainer of Beer Goggles and Lalor, has passed away this morning, at age of only 40.
Far too young to be taken. RIP

That's sad news. I didn't see a lot of him or know much about him, but I always kept an eye on his runners as I felt he tended to punch above his weight as a trainer.

shocking news
That’s awful, at such a young age as well. Do we know the cause? It doesn’t say on the article I’ve read.

That is terrible news, especially so young and with a family
Absolutely awful news.
May he rest in peace and condolences to his friends and family.

Real shock, and such a shame too.
Absolutely shell shocked to read this. I knew him quite well from the pointing world. In fact I first met him way before he even started riding when I used to buy hay from him. A really lovely guy who couldn't do enough for you and hugely popular too. He will be massively missed (and I really don't use that term lightly) in the West Country and my thoughts are very much with his family.

Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
