Anne Upton - A Slice of Racing History

Anne Upton - A Slice of Racing History

Anne Upton is a racing legend and a true blue slice of South African turf history. A formidable horsewoman, she was only the second lady trainer in South Africa, taking out her licence at the tender age of 21. She started training in Hilton, mainly for her parents and husband Lou and forged a reputation for being good with difficult horses, which attracted the admiration and support of the likes of Fred Rickaby, Syd Laird and George Azzie. Despite never having more than 20 horses, she achieved a string of successes, including two Holiday Inns and a gazebo at Scottsville built in her honour, but she is most strongly associated with the mighty Furious. We revisit the story of one of our most famous champions and chat to Anne about her life and racing career. Follow the link below from Sportingpost
