The last time my mother's horse ran- and came in second to last- the jockey predicted he'd win the next one.

Yesterday he got his chance. He was competing for final place with another horse from the same stable when he bumped into the first hedge and fell over. The trainer says he may not have recognized it for what it was...

Has he had his eyes tested?

I'm not sure about that, but he did see the dentist recently...

So is the trainer holding out any hope for better performance? I want to say SELL, SELL, SELL! but who would buy?

Someone who wants to go hacking down quiet country lanes?

If they took antibiotics, they wouldn't need to go hacking anywhere. And so much cheaper.
