In Memoriam (Racing People)

[wilsonl]

Absolutely awful news.

May he rest in peace and condolences to his friends and family.

 

[Marb]

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.

I think I read the family are asking the media to respect their privacy at this time.

Real shock, and such a shame too.

 

[jinnyj]

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.

What a crazy place the world is, go in peace

In a statement, Devon & Cornwall Police reported: "Police were notified at around 10.30pm yesterday [Monday] to reports of a concern of welfare for a man at a property in Rose Ash, South Molton. A man in his 40s was discovered deceased at the scene.

 

[Maruco]

That's terrible news. He always seemed to be a nice unassuming guy, and as a trainer he definitely punched above his weight. 40 is no age, and his family must be distraught.

 

[Tanlic]

Unreal he has been taken so young.

His family and his close friend Daryl Jacob must be totally gutted

RIP

A terrible tragedy. I felt physically sick when I read this news today. Such a young man with his whole life ahead. God console his family at this time.

What awful news, can't get the picture of him on TV after Beer Goggles' win out of my head - it's just tragic to think he has gone.

Thoughts with all his family and friends, they must be absolutely devastated.

 

[granger]

The reports tonight paint a sad story.

You never really know.

 

[granger]

Go in peace Peter Casey. Hopefully the angels are ready for you.

 

[Kauto Abu]

RIP Peter Casey. A true character.

Malcolm Jefferson has passed away.

Very sad news - proper trainer.

 

[moehat]

Am in tears reading this; years ago he was interviewed about Dato Star; can't remember the question but the answer was 'because I love him'. Have adored the man ever since.

 

[Marb]

R.I.P.

He had a star on his hands with Waiting Patiently. So sad.

 

[wilsonl]

So, so sad. RIP

Imagine the scenes if Waiting Patiently and Beer Goggles both win on the Thursday

 

[Tanlic]

My late friend rode for Malcolm Jefferson in the 80" I never met him but he spoke very highly of him R.I.P.

 

[NewApproach]

RIP Malcolm

I've never met him but he always seemed like a real gentleman who really cared about his horses.

Thoughts with his family and friends.
