For more than 20 years until his retirement in 1954, '
Moppy', as he was known (courtesy of his thick black hair), was the outstanding figure on the Turf.
As founder of Moorcroft, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Adrian Pratt, Patrick Davis,
Moppy Peate and the team at Plumpton for the huge effort they make every year, and also for the generosity of all the bidders in the auction, including the likes of Simon Tindall and Andy Stewart, who are staunch supporters.

Apart from the wonderful mid-summer weather in October, a huge part of this highly successful event was down to Patrick Davis and
Moppy Peate, chief executive and marketing manager of Plumpton racecourse respectively, who between them showed so much attention to detail.
