Indeed! From the Press Association:

Quote
McMahon set on Newbury double bid

Ed McMahon is looking forward to giving Temple Meads another chance to open his Pattern-race account in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.
The chestnut followed up a Newmarket debut win with an impressive victory in Newbury's Weatherbys Super Sprint, but lost his unbeaten record when only fourth in the Gimcrack Stakes at York.
"He's going for the Mill Reef and I think the ground will be good, which suits him well. We had the choice of either this or the Flying Childers at Doncaster, but we're going for this," said McMahon. "We never really had our way in the Gimcrack. He ran a bit free and we just hope with Richard (Mullen) back on board, he can ride a bit of a hold-up race. If we get beat we get beat, but we still feel we have every chance of running well, so we'll give it a go and he's very well in himself."

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Running in the 2.30, so with a rail related name it will probably come in at half past three!

We should have put money on it!  From the Daily Mail:

Temple Meads returns to winning ways with easy Mill Reef victory

Ed McMahon's Temple Meads returned to winning ways in devastating style with an authoritative win in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury. 

Winner of the Super Sprint at the track earlier in the season, he lost his unbeaten record when fourth in the Gimcrack. 

However, he turned form around with York second Crown Prosecutor in no uncertain terms, with Brian Meehan's charge eventually getting pipped on the line for second by Formosina. 

Richard Mullen always oozed confidence on the winner and sprinted clear a furlong and a half out to win by a length and three-quarters.

Yes, we should have 'lumped on'. It was a very competitive field in a high class race. Its winning price was 4-1. Never mind, we can adopt it as our 'One to Watch'!

In which case at least you'll get your bet refunded in the form of travel vouchers.

Running on Friday in the 3.05 at Newmarket.

But if you're more of a Chiltern or London Midland man, Snow Hill is running in the following race.

Now.... Temple Meads to Newbury is fairly easy. But Temple Meads to Newmarket? That takes a bit of doing!!
