Does anyone remember the visit of Greville ' Soupmeat ' Starkey, heading into the twilight years of his carrer riding here ? The man was HAPLESS and had the punters at Kenilworth in hysterics.

19 For the book My Greatest Race (1979), he nominated winning a race at Pietermaritzburg in 1975 on The Maltster Malt´ster
after his stall had failed to open properly and they had been left 30 lengths.

20After that race, Lester was fined 500 rand for swearing at the starter.


Hi Scotia, I was there to witness what Lester said was one of his greatest rides ever.The trainer was JB Cooper.

Went to the paper shop - it had blown away.
I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
I bought some HP sauce the other day. It's costing me 6p a month for the next 2 years.
Last night I dreamed I ate a ten-pound marshmallow, and when I woke up the pillow was gone.
Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.
A woman told her doctor, 'I've got a bad back. 'The doctor said, 'It's old age.' The woman said, 'I want a second opinion. 'The doctor says, 'OK. you're ugly as well.'
A man walked into the doctor's, The doctor said 'I haven't seen you in a long time'
The man replied, 'I know I've been ill'.
A man walked into the doctor's, he said 'I've hurt my arm in several places'.
The doctor said 'well don't go there any more'.
I'm on a whiskey diet. I've lost three days already.
Slept like a log last night ........ woke up in the fireplace.
Went to the corner shop - bought 4 corners.
I went to the doctors the other day and I said, 'have you got anything for wind?'
So he gave me a kite.
I went to the Doctors the other day, and he said, 'Go to Bournemouth, it's great for 'flu.
So I went, and I got it.'
I cleaned the attic with the wife the other day.
Now I can't get the cobwebs out of her hair.



Scotia I am sure you know all of these all off by heart but thougt some of the clan members will find them amusing.RIP Tommy.

An extract from the Parade about Jack Ramsay:

For Jack the most thrilling July ever run was in 1952 when
the legendary Mowgli fought a neck and neck finish from
the bend with Radlington and just got the decision by the
proverbial whisker at the line. There were others to follow,
like Right Prerogative and Tropicante in 1989, El Picha
and Young Rake in 2000 and, who can ever forget, the
dead-heat between Jollify and the great Sea Cottage in
1967.
But, what was the greatest race he ever saw?
“I’ve seen many exciting races but the most outstanding,
extraordinary race was when Lester Piggott won on The
Maltster at Scottsville. He was left a furlong and was tailed
off and it looked impossible for him to even run a place
and he finished up winning easy. In his book I recollect him
say that was the greatest race he ever rode.

My greatest jockey race I ever watched was in the 1983(?) Hawaii Stakes then a Gr1 over 1600m. Half the field looked as though they had ambushed the great Wolf Power on the rails. In a moment of sportsmanly gesture Muis Roberts on Spanish Pool saw what had happened, created an opening for Wolf Power and said to Lloyd "come, now lets see who is the greatest". Well, that's what it looked like to me......
