Lambourn is a unique town as almost everyone is involved in horse racing - from top trainers such as Mick Channon and Henrietta Knight through to the saddlers and stable lads and lasses.
The first trainers were Edwin Parr, Joseph Saxon, John Prince, Luke Snowden (one of the few trainers to be buried at St Michaels graveyard) and John Drinkald, who went insane when his horse was disqualified after winning a race in which he stood to win £28,000 [REF].
