Knot In Wood a star Nice article on Richard Fahey's success. His sprinter Knot In Wood is a star. With a bit more luck draw-wise this horse could have had a Wokingham and a Stewards' Cup on his cv, and it was great when he landed a Group 3. A wonderfully consistent animal.

Kevin Kelly Manny was so good Congratulations to John Cobb on an excellent article bringing back memories of Manny Mercer. With the time that has elapsed, I had forgotten how good he was, despite the stories my grandfather told me about some of his races. After his sad death I was a dedicated follower of his brother, Smoking Joe, and he gave me great enjoyment.

Harry Cowen, Durham A sterling effort Well done to those involved in the charity football match for the Malton Fire Disaster Appeal, and to all those who supported it. It was a fine effort.

TPP A review needed now It is good news that prize-money is not going to be cut further, but surely the whole situation needs reviewing now, otherwise the problem will simply reoccur.

Dan Sefton survived bombing Re Goodwood report today, Sefton was not killed in the Hyde Park bombing atrocity. Severely wounded, he recovered to live for several more years.
