Racing NSW has been advised of the passing of Mrs Beth Johnson, aged 99 and 11 months.
"Mum trained at Hawkesbury Racecourse from 1976 until 2013 and only retired from training as Dad needed a hand on their cattle property," said Lynne Ingham.
"Mum's best galloper was a horse called Magnetic Island who was first past the post on six consecutive races in town, including the Warwick Farm Spring Cup.
"Today would have been her 100th birthday and she will be sadly missed."
Hawkesbury Race Club will honour Mrs Johnson with a 'Vale Beth Johnson' race next Tuesday (14th April).
