There used to be a very popular jockey called Steve, who rode many a winner home to the cries of "Come on, Steve!" Speaking of that, we had a proper let-down on the Warwick card in February, the jockey got there all right, but the horse didn't. When we hopefully mentioned it to our bookie, he said oh, what an interesting case, fancy that now, well you don't say - geddoutovit. And so on. They're not nearly as kind-hearted as they look, that fraternity. Still, they do have their children to think of the same as anyone else.
We're not backing anymore gee-gees. We're putting our shirt on STEVIE. Well, she can't possibly go to the races like she is now, not without stopping everything on the course.
Stevie is an absolutely delightful lass from Yorkshire, who stands 5' 7" in her nyloned feet and presents proud statistics of 39"-24"-37", which is why she's sensational in a bikini and just the girl we'd most like to be first past the post with.
