Thanks Lucy

I'll squint a bit harder at the screen in future to make sure I don't confuse 5 with 5...I mean 6

I tried adding this horse again and when I clicked on what I thought would be the pedigree, I got this message:

Horse Not Found

That is an ongoing database issue, and unfortunately there's no way around it.

There is a sticky thread in this forum where I am collecting the names & pedigrees, so that when/if the database ever gets fixed I can just pop them all in. I'll add Multifaceted to it; feel free to add any other cases you may come across.
