28-1-67 Last Sunday morning was one of relaxation for Jimmy Clark, the "Flying Scotsman," who the previous day had won the Lady Wigram Tropy race and B.R.M. driver Dicky Attwood when they paid a visit to the stable of the Templeton trainers D. G. Jones and J. Grant. Above-Left: Dicky Aitwood has a drive behind a maiden pacer which will be raced by J. Grant.

Right: Showing all the traits of a professional reinsman Clark, dressed in the racing colours of Jones, awaits the start of his trial behind the 3-year-old trotter Royal Scott, a rather appropriate drive for him. - The two drivers with their two mechanics and a visiting English journalist, Barry Gill, spent a most enjoyable morning at Templeton and expressed the hope that next year, if they make a return visit for the big race at Wigram they could repeat the performance for a novelty in speed.
