David Sunderland

It is with much regret that we must report the passing of David Sunderland last night, Sunday 15th December.

David suffered a heart attack after working for the day as jockeys' valet at the Barbury Castle point-to-point.

David was a successful jockey for many years before becoming a jockey's valet in the South Midlands area.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Pat and his son Simon at this difficult time.

Details to follow.
