Peter Robin Hood Hastings-Bass (16 July 1920 – 4 June 1964) was a British racehorse trainer.
His father was Aubrey Hastings (a son of the 14th Earl of Huntingdon), who trained three Grand National winners and was based at stables at Wroughton.
[2] She retained the name Priscilla Hastings after her husband changed his, and was elected as one of the first female members of the Jockey Club in 1977.
They had a daughter, Emma (who married Hastings-Bass's successor as trainer at Kingsclere, Ian Balding, in 1969) and three sons, one of whom, William Hastings-Bass, 17th Earl of Huntingdon, was also a racehorse trainer and inherited the title of Earl of Huntingdon in 1990.
[3] After his death, his estate became involved in a lawsuit with the Inland Revenue, which gave rise to what is known in the law of England and Wales as "the rule in Hastings-Bass", which allows the court to set aside mistaken trustee decisions which would not have been made had the true tax outcome been correctly understood.
