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.
After the result was made official, a number of people on Twitter made the same joke.
"Haha, had to be Sierra Nevada wins for Jessica Harrington Cue punters on the other Sierra Nevada trying to get paid out," says one person.
"Sierra Nevada wins at Gowran Park. Sierra Nevada was disappointing. Cue the betting slip arguments," wrote another.
"Ambiguous slip bandits rejoice," said another user.
Congratulations to everyone who backed Sierra Nevada (USA). And for all who backed Sierra Nevada (GB), better luck next time.
