CITY NOTES: OUR STROLLER IN THROGMORTON STREET

... CITY NOTES. OUR STROLLER IN THROGMORTON STREET. WHAT, you? I thought you'd gone away, missin' the merry grouse or ticklin' the cold blooded trout.

The thick end of £17,000 in stakes in two days, with a possible St. Leger to come, must give one a nice glow.
