Counting has been something of a problem at Doncaster this week. After Frankie Dettori delivered Ardad fast and late to steal the Pepsi Max Flying Childers Stakes numbers were once again important.

This was a day when the big race was run under the impressive title of the 250th Doncaster Cup. Unfortunately, it was actually only the 240th, but the Flying Childers figures were, admittedly, somewhat smaller with five turning out to be the key figure.
