Finally, Duncan’s family would like to say a huge thank you to Iain Moffat & Tommy Honeyman for their support in making this event happen.
We are very proud to be able to have a race named in memory of Duncan at Stratford today. Duncan sadly passed away on Christmas Day 2021. A dearly loved Dad, Father-in-Law, and Grandad and a great friend to so many people in his home town of Corby. Horse racing played a huge part in Duncan’s life primarily anything ridden by Willie Carson or trained by Tim Easterby. Together with a small group of friends he was able to visit every racecourse in the UK as well as a number in Ireland and further afield in Europe. He was also part of a syndicate who owned a number of horses over the years mainly running in Point to Points but did also include a runner in a Hunters Chase at this very track, finishing 3rd. He was never happier than when spending a day at the races having a pint and a punt. Today, a coach load of his family and close friends will be celebrating his life, enjoying a day at the races, raising a glass in his memory and hopefully topping it off with a winner or two!
