A great man who loved the sport.
He bought a farm near Kanturk thirty years ago, selling it for a smaller place a few years ago.
As a member of the local Lismire Development Association, I drafted a letter welcoming him t the area, congratulating him on his first Irish winner and forecasting his green and yellow halved racing silks would become as synonymous as the Mc Manus silks.
He sent us a few quid, sponsored the local Lismire GAA team and received a Hedgehunter team jersey when the horse won the Grand National.
My favourite story about Trevor revolves around a hen hut , in ruins that spoiled the paddock nearest the house in Monymusk, his Kanturk farm.
The local contractor wanted to bull doze it away, Trevor told him to stone and reroof it and get hens for it.
A war baby, Trevor had been relocated from London to Lancashire and the only eggs available were powder eggs which tasted worse than they sound.
So Trevor kept hens on all his farms; when you have eggs you have a meal, when they are unavailable you cannot eat money as a substitute.
His first Irish trained racehorse was fittingly The Hen Hut who was his first Irish winner trained by Eugene O'Sullivan of Lovely Citizen fame.
Rest In Peace Trevor, you were an Aintree legend !
