At 6 o'clock on a recent morning he was up and eager to go, By 8 o'clock he was galloping with the rest of the string up a steep bit of Epsom Downs, a licensed fockey "orice again, training for his race..

But George is serious. This is not, he insists, a stoont.

After all, if it was 1920 when he last rode as a professional jockey (at Catterick Bridge), didn't his. father, the equally-famous Lan- cashire.comedian, apprentice him to Johnny Burns' stable at the age of nine?

STABLE LAD AT NINE

It is true that the first time his fother came over sce him ride' (at 3st. 3lb.) he was down with moomps. But didn't he afterwards ride (winners sometimes) at the Curragh and Ayr and Newmarket?

So when he mounts his pony. perhaps Miss Herve's Lucky Bert, at Northolt, he will take hls £2 fee like any other Jockey--and give it to the nearest hospital which treats jockey's bones and bruises. This cold, bright, windy morning. when Shuffle had carried him from Monty Smyth's stable on to the Downs, he faced the big, grey Irish Bill at the steep six furlong rise of Middle Hill, where we and the bookies jostle and jam during Derby week.

"As good as a mile and a half on the nat." said Monty Smyth. listening to the blowing and snort- ing as the string charged up to-. wards the clean autumn sky.
