Gerald Leigh Lectures 2025 - view now
Gerald Leigh was a prominent owner breeder of racehorses based at Eydon Hall Farm in Northamptonshire. He established himself as a leading international breeder by developing strong families with a small but select broodmare band.
On the racecourse, he achieved international success with Classic and Group 1 wins in England, Ireland, France, America, Canada and Australia. Amongst these victories, Markofdistinction delivered a first Group 1 success for jockey Frankie Dettori in the 1990 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. His homebred Barathea, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Mile in a course record, was named “European Horse of the Year” at the 1994 Cartier Awards. Among his commercial successes in the sales ring, his broodmare Korveya was sold for a world-record $7 million in 1998. The BCET are incredibly grateful for the continued support from his Charitable Trust.
This year was focused more towards the racing/fast paced side of the industry and effectively had two parts: Upper Airway Diagnostics and Surgery followed by Tendon Injury. Once again the lectures attracted a large audience from various backgrounds to listen to some renowned speakers from across Europe. This was combined with two excellent discussion sessions with questions debated and discussed from the audience.
