Of course I was in the swim, for George and his excellent father were ever ready to "slip me over the goods!" But an evil "hoodoo" was lurking round the corner. Literally so, for on the field emerging from the paddock, which is situated at the back of the stands, and therefore out of view of the crowd, a mad brute called Galloping Dick, belonging to Douglas Baird, and ridden by Freddie Pratt, suddenly bolted and barged into Dornroschen, catching her fairly on the flank, and sending her and her jockey--Allsopp--to the ground, where they lay with all the wind knocked out of them. It was quite three minutes before the filly was on her feet again and...
