End of an era at Warren Place

The end of the 2015 Flat racing season will close an illustrious chapter in UK horseracing. At the end of this season Lady Cecil will retire from training racehorses and Warren Place, the training base of her late husband Sir Henry Cecil, will be sold.

Lady Cecil said: "Training, for me, has always been about working with the horses and the team here at Warren Place. That has been a major factor in why I have continued since Henry died two years ago."

"Therefore, I confirm that at the end of the Flat season, I will stop training. Until then, the team and I will continue to work hard to achieve as much as we can with the horses."

Sir Henry took over at Warren Place in 1976.
