The horse in the last race is called El Sal not El Salvador

Not in the card in my paper or on racing post site?

Hmmm on the Coral race card it was El Sal!

Question is, should there be a stewards into my deliberately not backing the same big race horse as my rival yesterday in an attempt to win when seemingly dead? I think we will let Harry decide!

Entertaining enough ROTW - thanks for having the patience to run the numbers on the various complex scoring methods that I confess I never quite followed. Safe to say neither of us will be retiring on the back of the last 5 days.

Yes but funny that the generic favourite backers would have done better than both of us and it always seems to be the case in the big meetings, maybe favourite backing is in fact the best way to play!?
