Grab for conrol, page-16

Another possible analogy : The trainer has secured a wild card to run the syndicate owner's 11 year old horse, in the 3,200 metre Melbourne Cup with a form that looks like the one highlighted below.

Doesn't mean the horse heads to pasture or the jockey, strappers, vet & stable hands are responsible & certainly not the owners who've backed the horse based on assurances year after year that this race is the one.
.


For information :
- F - Fell
- 656 placings in the race - generally no return on investment - near miss, better luck next time
- S - the horse has been in a Spell (not racing, not in the game, no news, resting, but owners are still paying training fees)

FTR My money would probably go on Jack's All Magic, trained by J P Morgan
OGRIM even has a name that doesn't sound too positive.
