The controversy over the ruling given by the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) stewards on November 26 (RWITC coins new phrase: "Accidental, and upheld", mid-day, Nov 27) is refusing to die down.

A fresh salvo has been fired by the owners of Bottega Louie, the three-year-old filly who had won the Style Cracker Classic on the racetrack, but was later relegated to second place in the stewards' room after Trevor Patel, jockey of the runner up, Cambridge, objected against the winner.
