He said: “It’s been an emotional day as I’m very fond of this racecourse. I’m delighted to be going on to my new role but this is my local track and one I’ve been associated with for nearly 20 years.

“I’ve had a great team of groundstaff, and in the office, and I’ve really enjoyed it.

“I wouldn’t say I’ve cracked it here but we've done a lot in my time and I feel I’m handing it over in pretty good nick.

“Eloise is a cracking young girl, she's done amazingly well at Windsor and I’m delighted she'll be taking over.”
