OLD PAL, BROWN JACK
Steve Donoghue, the noted jockey, when wistfully - replying to some friend who asked him what memento would he like of his career, said:— "There is nothing that I would love more than to have my old pal. Brown Jack, with me when I retire." He was referring to a horse with whom he was associated throughout its racing days, and on whom he created toe record of six successive victories in the Queen Alexandra Stakes, run at Ascot. Donoghue, according to the "Daily Mail," added: "Brown Jack would dp more for me than anyone. I know lie would love to have me riding him while he watched the youngsters training." ... Sir Harold Wernher, the owner of Brown Jack, says the horse is very happy in retirement, but the suggestion of his going to Steve Donoghue was a bright idea.
