SHEPPARD IS BACK

WHERE CRICKET LOVERS

FEEL HE BELONGS

By ERIC NICHOLLS

Early on Sunday morning a rosy-cheeked sun-lanned young man packed a surplice and a cassock and, while his friends slept, tip-toed down the stairs of his Manchester hotel. David Sheppard, curate and cricketer, was on his way to Sunday duty.

And while his teammates relaxed. The Rev David preached at Kettering in the murning, and Northampton in the evening.

The racing at Ascot on July 20 and 21, in spite of the the high standard weather and the going, reached normally found only at the Royal meeting.

Plenty of races run during the two days, especially the two-year-old events, will influence the immediate future, but the meeting will long live in the memory because of the only Italian colt Ribot.
