We are very lucky to be associated with the Peter O’Sullevan Charitable Trust, who generously funded this first class equine facility in the heart of Newmarket. Sir Peter O’Sullevan CBE, who died in July 2015 at the age of 97, was much more than a fabled racing commentator. He was a journalist of high repute, a connoisseur of sporting art, and a racehorse owner who won big races with Attivo (including the 1974 Triumph Hurdle) and the great sprinter Be Friendly. Throughout his life he remained committed to the cause not only of equine welfare, but of animal welfare in general. On his retirement from commentating in 1997 he founded the Peter O’Sullevan Charitable Trust, which to date has raised more than £4 million in support of various charitable enterprises. The support of his trust for this arena is the perfect way to perpetuate his name in Newmarket – the Home of Horseracing.
