SYMPTOMS of tallyhosis are evident in Fiailfreight's decision to sponsor the first world championship for national hunt jockeys. Thus it hopes for a £55,000 bet to create the ring of confidence that will lure customers away from hauliers.
A survey showed "great ignorance of Railfreight among freight road users." Urgent action was necessary and it was natural that an organistaion that still talks about stabling its rolling stock should turn to the horse for its salvation. I have not checked on the odds being offered by the bookies but Tom Pearce of Widdicombe advises against backing grey mares.
