Chives The Horse - An Apology

In a posting on Friday 18th March, Will's Pub Guide (The Lock-in) may have inadvertently suggested that Chives The Horse was a donkey, and only fit for the glue factory.

TFMJ now advises me that Chives in fact finished fourth with odds of 50-1, thereby netting us £23. We now therefore accept that Chives is the fastest horse of his generation, and both TFMJ and I are very grateful for his contribution to the Jackson-Quigley household budget. We welcome this opportunity to put the record straight, and to apologise to Chives The Horse and his family "Good Thyne out of Chatty Actress (Le Bavard) trained by Mrs S J Smith and owned by Mr Trevor Hemmings".
Whatever that means.


Chives The Horse, looking speedy, yesterday.

Will's Pub Guide will be making a donation to a charity of Chives' choosing.
