Have long been an admirer of Alastair and his passion for racing and Cheltenham in particular-feelings that I share. He, in fact, lives in my Grandmothers old house opposite the church where we married many years ago.Would love to run into him one day in the Kings Head and talk of our passion for Prestbury Park.
So sad to hear about his untimely death. One of the greats of horse racing writing and broadcasting too. You could tell he loved Cheltenham. Time to name a trophy in his honour now. Yes he's got the press room, but a race/trophy in honour would just top it! May he RIP
Absolute wordsmith rest easy my friend 🧡
I was at Bledington last week gutted
This guy is simply brilliant at what he does the best!
Could listen to Alastair all day long!
The greatest racing journalist ever.
Alastair a wonderful raconteur with a great generosity of spirit and one of life’s good guys may he rest in peace
What a fantastic man God bless you Alastair
