Sir Peter O'Sullevan called many of Sir Henry Cecil's triumphs over the years in his role as the BBC's racing commentator and described the legendary trainer as "a special man".
He also recalled a comment made by former top owner Jim Joel, whose black and red colours were once a familiar sight on British racecourses and for whom Cecil trained Classic winners.
O'Sullevan said: "He (Sir Henry) was a very special man in so many ways. He had the common touch, which is very rare. I think as a trainer he was best described by one of his charming owners Jim Joel as a man with green fingers for horses. That was a perfect definition of his amazing empathy with the horse."
