The Peter O'Sullevan Charitable Trust will support the new outdoor arena at the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art at Palace House in Newmarket. The arena will host at least two daily displays of former racehorses training, giving visitors an insight into retraining a racehorse and showcasing their abilities beyond their racing careers. The arena, which is the final part of the National Heritage Centre to be constructed, will also host events throughout the year.
Chris Garibaldi, Director of the National Horseracing Museum, said, “We could not be prouder that the Charitable Trust is supporting this aspect of the project and that our arena will now bear the name of Sir Peter in perpetuity as a permanent memorial to one of the outstanding figures of horse racing in the 20th century. His love of the sport combined with his longstanding support for the welfare of its participants, both human and equine, stand out as examples of the very best in horse racing and to have his memory kept alive at the very heart of the sport's historic home is deeply satisfying.”
