We are mourning the death of my nephew Joe who has died aged only 53, the chairman of the British Horseracing Authority. As the Sun says, he took to racing young, not a family characteristic, and was brilliant at all aspects of betting. It was a great benefit to me when I went to the National Portrait Gallery that my trustees knew him as the racing correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. ‘Kind, thoughtful, funny intelligent’. A good description. A terrible loss.
