Yes, I couldn't see it happeneing, although it has happened in the past.
Also AISLE is second up today, not the same horse Sportz backed way back when.
I don't understand how they can let horses have the same name ever.
In 20 years, it's going to get very confusing, what if this horse is something special and wins the same feature race. Or a Melbourne Cup, what pray tell, do they do then?
Any historian is going to have two horses with the same name winning the same race 20 plus years later, or a horse not capable, winning a Melbourne Cup 20 plus years later.
Just does not make sense to me.
I just might go and buy a yearling and name it Phar Lap, reckon they'd let it through?
