This debutant hooned home late Here's a few things you might have missed in the wide world of racing over the past week. QUIRKY (from abroad)Two horses with the same name go head-to-head (Germany)We've heard of two horses in different countries with the same name. We've heard of two horses in the same country with the same name. But in the same race? It's hard to recall. On Sunday at Baden Baden (the irony of a repeat venue name!), two horses called Arturo matched motors in 2000m race.

He's now a stablemate of Antino, and just like that weight-for-age Group 1 winner, he's competed against some top-liners of Australian racing. The difference with 21-start galloper Make A Call is that he hasn't won a single race ahead of his resumption in two at Doomben on Wednesday. However, that could change if the market is anything to go by, with Make A Call holding favouritism at $1.80 with TAB.

A loophole in racing's rules has once again reared its head, leaving some punters out in the cold. Investors on the $1.80 favourite Pond Master in race four at Belmont on Saturday have adequate claims of grievance after the horse ran 2nd by 0.67L in the 1400m handicap. But the rules punters! You are on Pike with the $1.8 chance Pond Master - gate (5) slow to open and agreed cost 1 length denying fair start. But because it runs 2nd (btn 0.7 lengths) - can't be declared a non- start under rules.

Star Aussie jockey Damian Lane had a remarkable Saturday, riding six winners at Tokyo - including the last five on the card. Preceding Lane's handful of winners to finish the card saw him finish second in R7 to a $58 chance - and that was like a red rag to a bull seemingly, as he let rip soon after. Satono Arpeggio ($2.10), Jocelyn ($5.60), Perifania ($2.50), Bidaaya ($1.50) and Argo Navis ($4) all saluted under Lane as he put on a clinic.
