    A lot simpler than Oli Bell suggested it might be. He thought the BHA would order one of them to change their name :scratch:

    They would just be described as Lossiemouth (GB) & Lossiemouth (FR) during the race. Doubt Richard Hoiles would have a problem.

    Remember Vroum Vroum Mag!

    If the trainers title is decided by the big chase, Lossiemouth(Fr) is likely to be withdrawn from the following race to save her for Punchestown.

    Assuming of course she’s declared to run at the 48hr stage.

    I hope Mullins takes the right one home otherwise we could end with a new winner of the Mares hurdle next year

    It is reasonably easy to tell them apart:

    That’s a relief CAS. I can chip away on Lossie for the mares without the worry of that now .. :whistle:

    Neither Lossiemouth has been declared.

    Thanks AP. I checked and it’s the first time I’d noticed the ‘Decs Tracking’ option on the BHA website.

    That’s disappointing!

    Simon Holt’s suggestion to call the Gundry-trained gelding the “other Lossiemouth” when competing in his home country seems a bit insulting. I prefer using the nationality suffixes, or the colours of the horses could perhaps be used in this instance.

    “Simon Holt’s suggestion to call the Gundry-trained gelding the “other Lossiemouth” when competing in his home country seems a bit insulting.”

    I thought so too. Australia makes incomers change their names even if the Aussie horse with the same name is an absolute rag with no hope of getting within a hundred miles of the Melbourne Cup. I think the names should stay but Lossiemouth GB and Lossiemouth France would have been fine.
