Franny Norton, known affectionately as ‘the king of Chester’, has announced his plans to retire with a final set of rides at the track.

The 54-year-old has celebrated over 1,700 winners in a career stretching back to 1988, with his best tally of 112 coming in 2018.

Born and raised in Liverpool, Norton has become a master of riding the unique turns of the Roodee, lifting the Chester Cup in 2019 with Making Miracles and two Cheshire Oaks (2012 and 2021).
