Cornish Snow is the only horse to have won both in the same season (1999/2000). Of course, Forjatt could emulate that feat next month! Congratulations to Sheikh Ahmed and Dhruba Selvaratnam, both celebrating their fifth National Day Cup winner with Sunday's success of Forjatt. In doing so, they become the most successful owner and trainer in the race's 23 year history.
