I know LG Cottrell kept himself to himself, and famously never went racing, but he was always referred to as Gerald Cottrell.

Young Inca survived a desperate attempt at turning him into a hurdler as a 12yo, with connections finally calling it a day after a fall at Exeter. He finally enjoyed a very long retirement turned out with foals at the yard of Stuart Kittow (Cottrell's son-in-law, who also trains in the Blackdowns, on the Devon/Somerset border). Lived to be 30 in the end.
