Does anyone know how Mr Hemmings decides which entry wears first / second (etc) colours when he has more than one in a race?
I ask because at the new year I really fancied Sherwood Folly at Cheltenham and changed my mind when I saw Turpin Green was carrying the first colours.
I see in successive races at Doncaster this afternoon that Mr H has double entries, including TG again.
At Cheltenham TG was higher in the weights than SF. Both today's higher weights carry the first colours. Is that how he decides?
