‘Father Waugh’ dies at 85
Long-standing and celebrated conditioner Everald Joseph Waugh passed away on Sunday, August 9, 2026. He was 85.
Waugh was the patriarch of a family that built a strong racing legacy. He leaves behind his wife, Lindy, four daughters and six sons.
Two of his sons, Errol and Delroy, followed in his footsteps and are established trainers in their own right.
Affectionately known as “Father Waugh” among members of the racing fraternity, he is best remembered for training top-class horses such as Jimmy Connors, Bargin Shopper, Chop Chop, and Pretender.
The team at the Jamaica Observer’s The Supreme Racing Guide extends sincerest condolence to his immediate family, friends, and professional colleagues.
May Father Waugh rest in peace.
