Racing: Huntingdon bows out
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LORD HUNTINGDON'S career as a trainer, which began in 1976, is over. The trainer who has been based at the West Ilsley stables of the Queen, will not be renewing his licence next month and had hoped to sign off with Browning, who is now lame, in today's Armagh Handicap at Lingfield.
"My first runner, Better Blessed, was a winner," Huntingdon said, "and my last two, Just Wiz at Southwell on Saturday and Violet on Wednesday both won as well. I'll have a sabbatical and see what happens."
Huntingdon's winners for the Queen included the Royal Hunt Cup with Colour Sergeant in 1992 and the Ribblesdale Stakes and St Simon Stakes in 1995 with Phantom Gold. He also saddled Indian Queen (1991) and Drum Taps (1992 and 1993) to win the Ascot Gold Cup.
n Heavy rain has caused the abandonment of today's meeting at Haydock Park which was due to be televised by the BBC.
