Old C0ck grinding away!

Should have said 'lengthening' imop..

At least it wasn't hard up against the rail.

RP comments... Slowly into stride, vigorously ridden to take command, plenty in hand

MY comments...Slow to get going , hard ridden , came late , looked exhausted at the finish.

looked pretty soft last time

never looked like getting up last time .

Lol...

"The Durex Handicap." 3.30 Newmarket. Going - firm.

Derek & Clive.

One that the fellow dinosaurs on here will remember.

Previous few races 'Bid and hung left'

Slippy, I remember listening to Derek and Clive late 70s

I think there was very little script, they just got drunk and talked b0ll0cks

Funny though, Jayne Mansfield bit I remember well

Yes Reg, me also. I was still a youngster but my older brother had all the albums.
Jayne Mansfield and her terrible lobster issues!

Seems like a lifetime ago now doesn't it?

Slippy, wouldn't pass the censors now, I should think

Like Roy Chubby Brown, Jethro, Bernard Manning and more

started promising and got into a good tempo came with a late surge  but was hanging at the finish

Heard a syndicate of j4ps are eyeing this up as their next purchase.

Reared up in satlls, forced round the back but denied a clear opening. Pulled out & got buried up the inside. Finished with a rattle.....& a grunt

bit slow to start ,responded to vigorous handling ,came under the pump and produced an explosive finish .

'Loves to come from behind....'

Lovely price, won easily. Enough said for me.
