Farewell to racing legend Cecil

Henry Richard Amherst Cecil was one of the most popular and greatest racehorse trainers of this, or any other, era.

Perhaps those newer to the sport will not be able to quite appreciate his level of domination of British racing in the 1980s and 90s, but the records speak for themselves.

A phenomenal 10 champion trainer titles and 25 British Classic winners are the tip of the iceberg, with his 75 victories at Royal Ascot not in danger of being eclipsed any time soon.
