A tale befitting of a Dick Francis novel brought unexpected drama to a sleepy summer card at Yarmouth on Thursday when the 50/1 winner of the opening contest was subsequently found to have been year-older stablemate Millie's Kiss.
Favourite-backers were left fuming after the race after the odds-on Fyre Cay was confirmed more than hour after the race was over to have been beaten a neck by Millie's Kiss, a 70-rated three-year-old due to run later on the card, rather than cheaply-bought debutante Mandarin Princess. Both horses were trained by Charlie McBride, but a mix-up in the racecourse stables saw the wrong horse saddled up and make a winning debut under John Egan. https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/...-yarmouth/91321 What are your views on this bizarre incident? Surely the stable lass should have been able to tell the horses apart. |
