Clare Balding’s tribute to her uncle Toby Balding

Clare Balding is the niece of Grand National-winning trainer Toby Balding, who died at the age of 78 on Thursday 25 September.

β€œHe was just so big and warm-hearted and kind and generous” and "a genius with horses" said the sports presenter to John Inverdale.

Toby Balding trained more than 2,000 winners and won all jump racing's biggest prizes, including two Grand Nationals. He established the riding talents of AP McCoy and Adrian Maguire and retired in 2004.
