September 3 2002

It is a great night for the O’Sullivan family when McCarthys Duke wins the William Hill Golden Jubilee 505 at Swindon. Within months, Duke is disqualified for fighting. He returns as a leading fancy for the 2003 Springbok but breaks a wrist in qualification and is retired.

The night’s other major decider, the £3,000 Jubilee 480 is won by the John Mullins trained Lockup Firedice
