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?

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'
