"They don't need no parts!" grinned a jubilant
Alex Jorgensen as Roxy chided him about the
antique piece of equipment he had just wheeled
into victory circle after winning his second National event of the season on
Ascot Park turf.
Jorgensen, riding a BSA "somewhere between 25 to 50 years
12
old," had just pulled off a victory that
was supposed to belong to one of the
three pre-race favorites scheduled to

the most important races in this year's
Camel Pro series. Grand National

riders mentioned (with the exception

of winning.
