1990 Toby Balding

Thank you for this. Lovely memories. I spent 6 weeks as a pupil assistant at Fyfield a few years before this when Lucky Vane was the stable star. Toby was a genius who didn’t just teach you about horses and horse racing but about life too. @tomblythman @CharlieBlythman

Words of wisdom from Toby re prize / appearance money that are still relevant today

Such a knowledgeable horseman.

33 years on from this and the industry is still wrestling with the same issues. .
