Running in the 2.10 at Musselburgh. By the looks of his form, was a real winner in the past, but has spent a period since in the doldrums. Nevertheless, highly fancied for this event. Up against stiff competition from Cuban Cigar and one for the flagsh@ggers in The Churchill Lad.
Cuban Cigar triumphs over The Churchill Lad! Socialist Agenda, wearing green colours, routed. Make of it what you will.
Should also mention, in another example of life echoing politics, Scots Poet, was going well, steering its own independent course on the wide outside, when it tripped over its own hooves and fell over between hurdles.
