Title: The angels didn't take my racehorse away
Post by: Philip W on December 14, 2007, 04:02:50 PM
Studying form in the Grauniad yesterday, I noticed there was a horse called "Sandy Denny" running in the 3.40 at Ludlow. Any fans out there own a racehorse? Or part of a horse?

I think it's just finished....  ;)

Update: Just checked - it finished 12th of 16 (15 finished)

"Held up, headway 6f out, ridden and weakened 3f out ".  Hmmmm.

There's also a horse called "Full House" which runs fairly regularly. Maybe the band have a secret string of horses.

They used to say there'd come a day they'd all be owning racehorses, who knows where etc. And for the french steeplechasers, 'meat on a hedge'
