We are very sad to report Jimmy Latham passed away on Tuesday evening, having worked at Carlisle only 2 days prior.
Jimmy was a bookmaker for as many years as we can remember, being a great friend and colleague who will be sorely missed by all. His local track Cartmel was where he enjoyed racing most, but he also loved the Grand National meeting at Aintree. He was a familiar face at most tracks in the North-West & Scotland, having pitches at Hamilton, Carlisle, Haydock, Chester, Aintree and of course his beloved Cartmel among others.
Before he became a racecourse bookmaker Jimmy enjoyed the harness racing and owned horses himself under both codes.
