Rip dessie hughes

Thats very sad. These pieces of news usually leave little to be added but i always thought he was particularly likeable
 
a shocker this one..RIP and thoughts with the family

i remember him well from his riding days, i were just getting into racing then ...great days.
 
He'd been ill for a good long while, but still very sad. A true gentleman. Condolences to his family and friends.
 
It was obvious from Richard Hughes comments when he won the jockeys championship that his father was in a very bad way. Good that he lived to see him win the title again but terribly sad all the same. The family must be in bits; my condolences to them.
 
Indeed she is.
Some rumour that Richard will take over the stable eventually.
R.I.P Dessie, a fine man in all respects as jockey, trainer, father and man.
A Sean Graham Annual from his riding days described him as "lean like a gunfighter and just as deadly when the chips are down ".
Give the man his due when the chips were down for him he always came out fighting.
 
Very sad news - fine trainer and sounds like nobody had a bad word to say about him .

I thought Richard was very clear he would only want to train in England ?
