Former trainer and Shergar’s work rider Cliff Lines honoured at Newmarket
87-year-old one of Racing Welfare’s Lifetime In Racing award winners.
On a day when Sir Michael Stoute’s Nostrum firmly announced himself as a star for the future, it was fitting that former trainer Cliff Lines, who was famously the legendry Shergar’s work rider, was at Newmarket on Thursday as one of Racing Welfare’s Lifetime In Racing award winners for 2022. The annual awards seek to recognise those who have devoted more than 30 years of their working lives to the British horseracing or thoroughbred breeding industries. Nominations were received from up and down the country across the course of July, with Lines receiving no fewer than five nominations.
