Or possibly Reid - according to Wiki, Reid was the name of The Lone Ranger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Ranger "Originally, the character's true identity was not revealed, though it was hinted that behind the mask he might be a historical Western hero (such as Wild Bill Hickok). Then, after a preliminary version of the character's now-standard origin appeared in the Republic movie serial of 1938 and elements of that story were worked into the radio series, the hero was revealed to be a Texas Ranger named Reid, who was one of six Texas Rangers chasing the Cavendish Gang." The winning jockey of the 1992 [Epsom] Derby was John Reid. riding Dr Devious http://www.epsom-derby.net/derby-winners.html Nov 20 09, 2:02 PM
