About this person

John Geoffrey Tristram Lawrence, 4th Baron Trevethin and 2nd Baron Oaksey, was a British aristocrat, amateur jockey and horse racing journalist and TV presenter. He was twice British Champion Amateur Jump Jockey, before becoming a journalist and racing personality both on television and through his charitable work for the Injured Jockeys Fund, which he helped establish. Oaksey was described as "quite possibly the outstanding racing figure of modern times, touching so many via his compelling writing, broadcasting, race-riding and tireless fund-raising".
