Charlie McBride insists there was ‘no collusion and no ulterior motive’ behind the embarrassing chain events that led to the wrong horse winning on Thursday

Charlie McBride believed he had saddled the 50-1 shot Mandarin Princess before the first race of the day at the Norfolk track but it was in fact stablemate Millie’s Kiss who had been sent out, a three-year-old running against two-year-olds, and who passed the post in first place. Millie’s Kiss was due to run later on the same card in a race from which she was withdrawn by the Yarmouth stewards.
