Miss Davidson Irish Eyes Are Smiling Down With Equality On Rachael

Note this weekend's time and date carefully on any diary and calendar you can find For it should not be taken with a pinch of salt but rather go down and be marked in terms of it's historical significance Because saturday's Grand National winning jockey was in fact a women And Irish eye's must have been smiling down upon us all in equal measure And hopefully now she stands and takes her rightful place in the suffrage movement Beside Miss E.Davidson who placed herself in front of a horse on that fateful Derby day Merely trying to make a point not become a martyr for or to the cause Because not only did Rachael Blackwood beat the bookies and the odds The Chair Bechers Brook The Water Jump Canal turn And every single thing Aintree racecourse could throw at her She also overcame the men as well Now not only finally equal at last but one better I'm only just so sorry because of this insipid covid pandemic A multitude of ecstatic fans we're not there to will her across the finish line And Cheer her till the rafters shook during the prize giving ceremony And again i only hope you win again in the not to distant future god praying next year So you can receive a posthumous double celebration
