MRS Evie Magnier Stockwell, mother of Coolmore Stud boss John Magnier, has died. She was 97.
Her death comes just a few weeks after her twin sister, Lady Mimi Manton, passed away.
Evie married Tom Magnier, owner of the Grange Stud in Fermoy, in 1947. When Magnier died in 1962, she raised their four children.
Among the many good horses to race in Mrs Stockwell's colours was Fairyland, winner of the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes in 2018 and the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes in 2019. The 2015 Breeders' Cup winner Hit It A Bomb also carried her silks.
