In January 2018, the racing world was left in complete shock at the death of Richard Woollacott, a rising jumps trainer who passed away aged just 40 after fighting against mental illness.
Wife Kayley Woollacott took over the licence at the stables in Rose Ash, South Molton, Devon, and with three-year-old daughter Bella has managed to cope and look forward thanks to a life with racehorses which the family has always loved.
"It's like trying to operate in fog - very thick, dark fog," says Wollacott. "The only thing I could really focus on is that every day I had to wake up to a little girl that expected some sort of happy life. I want her to remember life is worth living.
"She loves the horses, it's always been something weve done and I'm really lucky the owners have supported me and enabled me to continue what we've always done.
"People deal with things differently - for me, having that routine does pull you out."
In a poignant interview, Luke Harvey also gets the latest on dual-Grade 1 winner Lalor and a campaign over fences awaits...
"Richard bought Lalor himself, had so much faith in him and it's a dream we can continue showcasing what he bought and what he taught me."
