An afternoon of lectures on preparing and assessing Thoroughbreds for sales in memory of Gerald Leigh was held on 5 June 2019 at the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket. BCET organises these lectures on behalf of the Gerald Leigh Charitable Trust in recognition of Mr Leigh’s achievements as a racehorse owner and breeder and his passion for scientific knowledge and the welfare of the horses he loved.
