Trainer Gloria Stringer brought the curtain down on a memorable training career by entertaining her owners and friends at a party in the Stadium's executive suites on Tuesday.
It was a career that spanned 30-odd years and only ill-health has forced her to quit.
More than 40 friends and owners, including husband Chris, plus a regular filter of fellow trainers throughout the night, wished her well on her swansong.

She has seen action at Swindon (twice), Reading, Milton Keynes and Oxford and said: "I wouldn't have missed the experience for the world.
"The training ranks are a close-knit group, we all have our ups and downs, but all in all, it's been good fun. No matter which track you went to there was always someone you knew."
