Sad news from England, with Terry Biddlecombe passing away yesterday. Born in 1941, he was champion National Hunt jockey three times in the 1960s, and continued to play a huge role in the sport as a jockey in the 1970s with over 900 winners. He then made an impact as a trainer later on after teaming up with Henrietta Knight, who became his wife in 1995.
As well as a great loss to the British racing scene, my thoughts are naturally with his wife and family. But browsing through the tributes that are already pouring in, most of those who were close to the man are determined to celebrate the life rather than mourn the death. That seems entirely fitting for such a character...
