Newbury racecourse today announced the appointment of Harry Herbert as a director.
Herbert, involved in racing since he gave up his stock-broking career in 1982, is best known as managing director of Highclere Thoroughbreds, owners of Lake Coniston, Tamarisk and Housemaster.
The 40-year-old was also elected to the Jockey Club last month.
Newbury managing director Mark Kershaw said: "We are delighted that Harry Herbert is joining the board of directors at Newbury.
"He brings with him a track record in thoroughbred management that is second to none and his marketing skills are excellent."
