Yvonne Reynolds

It's with great sadness to report that my great racing partner and friend - Yvonne - has passed away . Yvonne had been very poorly for the past few years - but that makes it no less sad .
It's strange how life works out . Our last horse now retired and Yvonne now departed - like somehow she knew . Certainly the end of an era .
However - thanks hugely to the Pipes - we had some fantastic days racing ! And some desperate ones too . But somehow those days make the good ones even better !
So many memories - but an ever lasting image is of Yvonne stuffing her hand bag of all her bookies gains - so much so that she could not close it ! I found her a plastic carrier bag - and she stuffed that as well ! I asked her why see didn't just use a bookmakers account ? 'Don't bloody trust them!'
