Fathers Against Sons

 

It has happened many times in horse racing. Alan Mackay has raced against his son and we now have the Hills twins racing against Richard’s son, Patrick.

This piece on the Hills from the Telegraph.

Richard remains close to his twin. They live near each other in Newmarket, share an agent and regular lifts to the races. Earlier this week, Richard, Michael and Richard's son Patrick were all drawn next to each other in the stalls at Lingfield. "It's no different with Patrick as it is with Michael - at the end of a race I always look up to see how they've got on and if it isn't me winning, I always hope it's one of them."
