HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS mascot Streetly the Swift went into the national spotlight during his run at the Mascot Grand National.
The race was covered by BBC's The One Show earlier this month, and their guest on the night - actress Caroline Quentin - picked out the Ryman League Division One North outfit's mascot in their sweepstake.
But he was slowed down by his heavy feet, and although he thoroughly enjoyed the experience, he trailed in 18th out of 27 in the field.
The race was won by Barry Barratt the builder, ahead of Mr Bumble of Barnet.
Streetly said: "It was a wonderful day out, great fun and worthwhile as my entrance fee was donated to charity."
The mascot derby has been running since 1999, and this was the second time it had been held at Kempton Park.

Meanwhile, the club have announced a pre-season friendly against League One Colchester United at Scracely Road on Wednesday July 10.
