"WELL, I DESERVED IT"
"Well. I deserved it," said C. Thomson after riding Sandy Dix to victory in the Great Northern Hurdles. "It is some compensation for Clarion Call's falling last year at the last fence when it was all over^ bar collecting. Sandy Dix was always going well, and when I took'him to the front, with a little less than a mile to go, I felt very confident. He jumped perfectly throughout and he never put a foot wrong."
This is the second time Thomson has ridden a winner of a big jumping event at Ellerslie, as he was on Callamart when 'that gelding won the Great Northern Steeplechase in 1933.
