Death of former trainer Hindley

Jeremy Hindley, who trained around 700 winners in a 17-year career which ended in 1987, has died at the age of 69.

He had been suffering from motor neurone disease since 2001 and passed away at his home in Hermanus, South Africa.

The best horses he trained included Protection Racket, who won the Irish St Leger and the Ebor, The Go-Between, whose eight wins from 11 juvenile starts included the Cornwallis Stakes, the Doncaster Cup winner Crash Course, and Huntingdale, who took the Dewhurst.
