Jacksy

Jacksy was going back to the Big J as soon as he could and he was going to retire with a good few quid, a nice white bird and a new apartment complex just south of Montego Bay, far enough from the shanties to make people think they were safe.

So strong an impression was probably right, but not of much help; and Jacksy, altogether, had run dry.

Chico gave me a thumbs up sign from behind Lucas's head, and I thought I would pile it on a bit while the climate was favourable, and recover what I'd paid to Jacksy.

Jacksy didn't; but he could ride pretty well, and I'd raced alongside him often enough to know he wouldn't put you over the rails for nothing at all.

I dropped him where he wanted, at the outskirts of Watford, and the last thing he said was that if I was going after Rammileese to keep him, Jacksy, strictly out of it, like I'd promised.

In the strong evening sunlight we sat and read the reports on the extra syndicates that Jacksy had told me of.

While he finished the eggs and attacked the toast I told him most of what Jacksy had said about the syndicates, and also about rumours of kickbacks in high places.

Jacksy kept up his disconnected remarks, which I gathered were a form of time-filling while he sorted himself out underneath.

'Someone reliable,' I said, thinking that maybe they wouldn't think a suspended jockey like Jacksy as reliable as I did.

'Jacksy,' I said, 'no one's listening but me, and I'm not telling anyone else.
