I must've missed this one:

Appears ex-jockey/trainer has taken it on. "It's a mile and a half to the pub and Zebedee pricks up his ears every time we go. He had no trouble and even cantered for a bit. The regulars got an incredible shock when I rode up."

"Zebedee gave me a hard time at first, coming at me with his front feet and also biting. But I just treated him with total kindess." Zebedee does not need shoeing and has a useful talent if his owner should ever have one too many. Bill said: "Zebras have a built-in homing instinct."

On a slightly different note, I believe Monty "Horse Whisperer" Roberts had a 90/1 horse run second on Friday.
