End of an era in Newmarket with head lad set to depart after three decades and 30 Group 1 winners
Plus, new role for former apprentice and a revival in visitor numbers at the National Stud
David MilnesNewmarket correspondent
Ed Dunlop is shortly to lose an irreplaceable member of staff when the hugely respected Robin Trevor-Jones retires from his role as travelling head lad after 30 years in the role.
It will be the end of an era in Newmarket next weekend when Trevor-Jones, a keen Derby County fan, departs the yard at the end of Glorious Goodwood.
Trevor-Jones has been a familiar face since he first joined the Dunlop team at their original base at Gainsborough Stables in 1997 and then later at La Grange.
