Looking a gift horse in the Tooth

The Diary would like to express its thanks to Raymond Tooth, owner of the winning horse in the 7.30pm race at Ascot last Friday, Law Comm-ission, helping the Diary pocket 20.

But not everybody in the ad industry might be so grateful. Mr Tooth is the well-known divorce lawyer central to a number of adland’s separations. Several members of the industry from agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Bates Dorland and FCB present last Friday were taking bets on which divorce had paid for which of the horse’s legs, not to mention its training and stable fees.
