The Patrick Hibbert-Foy Memorial Nursery Handicap Stakes

RESULTS E

Abbreviations

The Patrick Hibbert-Foy Memorial Nursery Handicap Stakes remembers a much-missed former director and chairman of Thirsk Racecourse.

Patrick gave most of his working life to horseracing. He took up his first racing appointment as a Jockey Club official in 1971 and ascended the hierarchy, becoming British racing’s senior professional steward in 1994.

It was Thirsk’s good fortune that once Patrick finally retired from all stewarding commitments he agreed to become a director here at Thirsk Racecourse. He joined the Thirsk Board in 2013, remaining a director until his death in 2019, and for 4 of those years Patrick also served as Chairman.
