I could not repeat what I said then ! the two jockeys in Scott &apos;s car turned around using the open gates of the cemetery and chased after the other car . they finally caught up with it at West Auckland . I kept my eye on it from the moment it smashed into us , Scott said . when I got out of my car - if you will excuse the expression - I said to the woman driver , what the hell are you doing ? but she did not reply . slight damage .
