Sky Blue Sam is running in the annual mascots race and tells Oggy to put a few hundred quid on him as he has been training all year for it and is guaranteed to coast it. Oggy questions it but he reassures him that he is a dead cert and he is in great condition.
The day of the race and Oggy walks up to Sam while he is doing his warm up and says, "Are you still confident, as most of the first team including Pressley has put a good few quid on you to win?" Sam says no problems and he has it in the bag.
The race starts and Sam gets off to a flyer and after 6 fences he is way ahead of the field and can afford to ease down a little, as he approaches the second last fence a tin of peaches flies out of the crowd and hits him in the side of the head. This throws him off balance but he still manages to jump the fence, as he is in mid-air a pack of shortbread hits him in the knee and he nearly hits the deck.
He regains his composure but the chasing pack are now breathing down his neck, as he nears the last a fruit cake hurtles towards him and catches on his side. He lurches to the right and just about makes the jump and as he lands he is almost poleaxed by a bottle of red wine which throws him completely off his stride. The chasing pack takes advantage of his misfortune and he eventually finishes in 4th place.
Oggy confronts him at the finishing line and says. "What the hell was that all about, I thought you were going to walk it?" Sky Blue Sam turns to him and says," Sorry mate I was hampered at the last 2 fences!".
