National Huntingdon
MY RACING correspondent, Captain Threadneedle, writes: Eat your heart out, Lord Vestey. Cheltenham has missed its chance to stage the Captain Threadneedle Selling Hurdle, and its noble chairman will never live this down. The newest and brightest gem in National Hunt racing's diadem, the Threadneedle will be off at 1 o'clock on Tuesday of next week, at Hunt- ingdon (to be renamed National Hunting- don). Special arrangements have been made for City and Suburban racegoers, who will be able to benefit from the unique Threadneedle intelligence service — who was it gave you Race Void for Aintree? at no extra charge. Just approach, raise your hat, and say: 'You are Captain Threadneedle and I claim my Five Star Sure Thing Late Wire.' Then buy a drink.
