Rich racing pedigree makes Harry Eustace a safe bet for his family's succession

Harry Eustace has just returned home to Park Lodge Stable in central Newmarket after a 4½-year stint as assistant to William Haggas. He started working with his father James at evening stables the same day. James Eusace will take over the reins probably in the New Year. Harry's great-grandfather was Bilby Rees, who won the 1922 Grand National on Music Hall. His mother, Gay, was born an Oughton and her brother David sent Cape of Good Hope over from Hong Kong to win at Royal Ascot in 2005. Harry’s great grandfather was Dick Reese, a five-time champion jockey.
