I did notice IanR his co owner and contributor on here in previous times paid us a visit yesterday.
Anyone in a position to organise a Floral Tribute to LordH from the Forum! Not something I'd be able to take on but would certainly contribute.
I think we should sponsor a race in his honour.
I think sponsoring a race in his memory would be lovely. We could call it the “Lord H.... I didn’t buy Attraction, dammit! Stakes”
I'm of an age where contemporaries are passing with increasing frequency but this is such sad news. He was absolutely one of a kind.
Making his acquaintance on here, I think that that Champion Hurdle day in 2002 was the first time we actually met (and the only time I've met AC and Slim) but he was such an easy and interesting man to talk to. I later joined the Lord Noelie group and also had an interest in One Alone and Great Benefit, the latter group being his creation. We both moved on from here in the Wild West days but kept in touch via Christmas cards. Looking back to the last one, only a few weeks ago, the writing is a clue that he was unwell but I'm sure that he insisted on signing himself.
He was someone who believed in living life to the full but never at the expense of others. Unfailingly polite, enthusiastic and always first to the bar.
RIP
Good idea! We did that for Alan Morgan.
Is Krizon still with us? If so, has anyone been in touch with Jon, or Julie or Steve M ?
I did but forget!Does anyone remember the story about Sporazene in the county Hurdle?
