RIP Edgar Britt

He has died aged 103. An outstanding Australian jockey who rode classic winners in the UK.

Also, his name became well-known as rhyming slang. Many folk have experienced a bad case of the Edgar Britts.

Never heard of Edgar but am well acquainted with his rhyming slang. Especially after a couple of bottles of Claret. Embarassed

Britt's passing was reported on Ch7 News tonight but I have yet to see any articles on the internet.

Edgars younger cousin, Jimmy, lives in Melbourne. He works in the pit. Rumours of his passing have been blocked.
