Charlie King Of The Legends

Charlie Swan was crowned king of the legends after making all the running on Miami Gator to win the Fudge And Smudge Leger Legends Classified Stakes at Doncaster.

The brainchild of Jack Berry, the race raised money for a facility similar to Oaksey House in Lambourn, which caters for retired and rehabilitating jockeys. However, those in the north have no such luxury and hence the project hailed as "the house that Jack built" was born.

When the persuasive Berry comes calling, not many can say no to the former trainer, who saddled 1,657 winners in a career spanning 30 years.

The likes of Pat Eddery, John Francome, John Reid, Steve Smith-Eccles, Tony Dobbin and Kevin Darley were all involved with the biggest legend of the all, Lester Piggott, presenting the prizes.
