He has been an intrinsic part of racing and Royal Ascot for the whole of his career."

I am a big fan of horse racing and he was a fantastic trainer.
Sir Henry Cecil
Henry Cecil will be remembered by a minute of silence and one of the races has been dedicated to him.
For now, his wife Lady Cecil is holiding the licence and will step in for him. In case of a winner emotions will go high. Cecil holds the record of Royal Ascot winners, 75.
Its tragic that he died just before the royal meeting, but in general his death had been expected for some time, he has been very ill for years.
