Really sad to hear of the passing of my old boss of 3 years Stan Mellor. Started me off in my riding career. A brilliant jockey and a brilliant teacher. Trained some great horses and above all a caring person and a gentleman. Thoughts with Elain, Dana and Linz. RIP Boss

RIP Stan Mellor. Our thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends. A great supporter of Newbury over the years, his win on Stalbridge Colonist in the 1966 Hennessy Gold Cup beating the great Arkle was one particular highlight. A great man

Racing has lost a great pioneer with the death of Stan Mellor, best known as the first jump jockey to ride 1,000 winners. Generations of riders owe him a huge debt for his single minded drive to improve safety. Later in life he relished his role coaching young jockeys.
