TEN days ago I was among the 481 people in attendance at a lunch in London to remember our great friend Sir Peter O’Sullevan, the mellifluent ‘Voice of Racing’, and to celebrate his choice to be given the 24th Peter O’Sullevan Annual Award. What a joy it was to see Jessica Harrington honoured, and she is a truly worthy recipient.

Jessie joins a list that is without equal in terms of people who have been successful in or about the worlds of racing, breeding and journalism.
