Very sad news indeed. To be taken at this age is quite tragic. We are all diminished by his passing.
Apologies if this seems very sentimental but I keep checking the RP site to see if they mention Daylight. This site, the Racing Post and Betfair are so entwined in my racing mind that I keep checking the site and asking myself "why have they not mentioned Daylight – do they not realise how important he is"
Anyway apologies if this comes across as melodramatic – I’ll delete it if anybody requests it.
Can only echo everybody elses sentiments. My thoughts are with you at this desperately sad time.
LRM, I’m so sorry to hear of Daylight’s passing. It’s sad and bizarre to realise that I didn’t know his real name until now. I will always remember meeting him for the first time – when Amelia won at Leicester in June 2002 – I told him that I didn’t think she could win yet he still invited me for a glass of champagne in the winners’ room after the race. He was one of the good guys and will be sadly missed.
<br> I have to say I am lost for words. <br>My condolences to his wife and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I didn’t even know his name, but in a funny sort of way I had an idea of what he was like. I am sure he was a great, caring, loving husband.
He will be also be sadly missed by all of us here.<br>
I must just say that a day on, I’m still in shock. I just can’t believe something like that could have happened so suddenly and to someone so young.
I remember the fun we all used to have in the chat room with the quizzes. Craig was always very fair with his awarding of points, and that’s how he handled disputes on TRF too; very fairly. He couldn’t have done a better job. I’ve been a moderator on a forum myself and I know how tough it is!
Once more, our thoughts are still with you Debs and Luke and will continue to be.
<br>Love Gill, John and Olivia
Debs<br>Nev and I are so sorry to hear about your loss. We have known you and Craig since the early days of the forum and know how hard you both worked on this forum to make it what it is today.
Our one regret is that we nearly met ,although we kept in touch by email he was a great guy, a good husband to you and a great father to Luke.
He will missed by a lot of forum members who had the up most respect for him.
Our thoughts are with you and Luke and will be in touch soon.
Sue and Nev<br>
Dear Debs,
I have been sitting here stunned not knowing quite what to say. Although we have never met I felt through our messaging and the poker with Craig I got to know you both well.
Mine and Claire’s thoughts are with you and Luke at this terrible time.
He made me laugh out loud so many times.
John
I cannot convey in words the shock and sadness I felt when I heard of Craig’s passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to Debs and Luke.
Just got back from a trip and was absolutely staggered to read this news. My heartfelt condolences go out to Debs and Luke at this unbearably sad time in their lives.
Dear Debs, I have just spotted this dreadful awful news and am completely lost for words. My thoughts are with you both. A special guy and a tragic sad loss.
Hi there
I am so desperately sad to hear this terrible news, I was lucky enought to meet Craig on a few occasions and he was a hugely charming knowledgable fella.
I am so very sorry for you and young family LRM but be safe in the knowledge that Craig as evidenced by the posts here touched the lives of many and will never be forgotten
Only just seen this desparate news.
My deepest sympathies at this very sad time.<br>Keith
Just tuned in and I am shocked and saddened by this terrible news.
My deepest sympathies goes to the family & friends. My thoughts are with you.
