I used to meet my pals at a pub called Le Jardin [just round the corner from Henrsons' Salad table. Anyway, I had a tip for a horse called Hibernian Gold and it was about 12/1. I told my pals, most of whom were gunts and they refused to back it because of the name which was nice, especially as it romped home.
