    The interim president of the International Polo Federation (FIP) James Ashton died yesterday (14 February) following a fall in a 10-goal match in Thailand.

    Mr Ashton sustained serious injuries while playing a game at Polo Escape in Thailand last night when his horse came down at speed.

    He was rushed to the nearest hospital in Pattaya but never made it.

    Backing two runners is the relentless pursuit of value. Backing each way is a shortcut to the poor house. Only 7% make a long term profit.
