The owner, whose silks were made famous by Tidal Bay and Inglis Drever, has only had a handful of recent runners
It is no great surprise to read that Sir Graham Wylie has decided to take a break from racehorse ownership. There was a time when his colours could be relied upon to show up on jump racing’s biggest day but the software millionaire had just one runner in
Britain last season, when Yorkhill started at 25-1 in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in November and made little impact before falling at the fourth-last.
It’s almost a year since the last winner in his black and beige silks, also Yorkhill at last summer’s Galway festival. He had a couple of other high-class animals running in
Ireland, in Bellshill and Voix Du Reve, but has seemed to be winding down for some time.
