Joe was riding Scottish Laddie for the first time. They had one more outing together, which resulted in a first fence fall in the Swanage Novices’ Chase at Taunton on March 16, the first of four successive races that season in which Scottish Laddie failed to finish when partnered by various jockeys.

Those appear to have been the only two rides Joe Kelly had that season. He kept his licence for one more season, 1950/51, but had no further success.
