You got it spot on, Nick.

Fred was a Dublin man, and the word at the time (in the contemporary magazines, which of course I have!!) was that he had fallen earlier in the race and perhaps banged his head, leading to his misjudgement at the last corner.

Off the top of my head this is -- given an hour or two, I reckon I could tell you where his earlier "off" was!
