I came upstairs at 2.00 p.m. and watched the last half an hour of the film, “Hold On”, from 1966. It features a British pop group of that era, Herman’s Hermits, its leading singer, Peter Noone, and the American actress and singer, Shelley Fabares. Shelley appeared as Donna Reed’s daughter, Mary Stone, in the popular television series, “The Donna Reed Show”, and also had a No.1 hit, in 1962, when she recorded the single, “Johnny Angel”.
The outstanding mare, “Surround”, was defeated by “Bonfield”, this afternoon, when attempting to win her eleventh race in succession.
