Cockney Ryming slang for on your own,was named after Jockey Todd Sloan or Sloane = alone

Believe it or not he was banned for betting in races he was riding in ,but others including him reckoned it was because he was too cocky around the aristocats and upper classes

His wikipedia page is worth a read,very colourful jock > Read here
