PROGRAMME
Reynoldstown IMPORTANT EVENTS
HORSE IS A QUICK JUMPER
(By Robin Goodfellow)
Mrs. Violet Mundy's Avenger, had Just won the Stayers Handicap Steeplechase by a length and a half from Reynoldstown recently when Owen Anthony, the trainer of Golden Miller, said to me:
suppose that makes it a little less usy for me to win the Grand National".
It was his way of expressing his' appreciation of the display given both by Avenger And Reynoldslown, but particularly, I think, by the former.
