"Wings" is the apt name of a horse, bred of English stock, who has managed to avoid being used as a cab horse by winning nine consecutive reces at Belgrade.
His owner originally purchased the horse for £5 which left him with a working capital of £4. On this latter sum Wings' owner set up as trainer, though he determined that if the venture failed Wings should draw a cab.
The horse has, however, spared himself that by winning about £200 in stake money up to the present.—Reuter.
