John Lowe dies

The rude word filter has blocked part of the web address but I'm sure you can guess, it's lead story on RP anyway.

pretty apt 4 days before the CAMBRIDGSHIRE got his leg over MELLOTIE a few times back in the day, big fav ofthose living our way,think he ended up getting a decent job as work rider at the CECIL BARN didnt he ?
i always associate him with guy reeds colours and those red silk beige cap colurs of sally hall trained nags,but robably wrongly so, RIP

Sad to hear tbh.

Won the big race that's just gone, Ayr Gold Cup on Final Shot.

And Sparkling Boy for Paul Kelleway 1980 @15/1…..

I remember it well

Rode for Bill Watts. RIP John great lightweight.

Work-Rider Role: After retiring from his competitive race-riding saddle, Lowe joined Warren Place in Newmarket as a key work-rider for Cecil, exercising high-profile horses such as Ali-Royal, Reams of Verse, Dr Fong, Wince, and the erratic two-year-old Fleetwood.

RIP

Was always referred to as "CHIRPY LIGHTWEIGHT " John Lowe R.I.P

Always remember him winning the 1977 Britannia at Royal Ascot on Wizard King for Sir Mark Prescott.  Rated 77 at the time before retiring to stud rated 119.  He was a huge horse as I remember and it must have been akin to a feather on his back with John Lowe riding at 7-7.  Thanks for all the memories John and rest in peace.

Sorry, 1994 Britannia.  Got mixed up with weight carried (7-7).

very good jock and interesting man.  few get the double up.

Back in the day one word was always attached to John

Chirpy

RIP Chirpy John Lowe
