There will be some very happy punters and some very confused bookies as Sierra Nevada managed to finish both first and eleventh in the 4:50 pm race at Gowran Park this evening.
And no, there hasn't been a mistake. Instead, there were two horses with the exact same name competing in the same race.
Those that backed Sierra Nevada (USA), who is trained by jessica Harrington, will be delighted as the American horse romped to victory at 7/2. Those that backed his namesake (Sierra Nevada GB) will be much less happy.
