HORSE RACING Vanilla Bally was this week attempting to become the first Israeli-bred thoroughbred to win a race in Britain. The filly, who until now has been ridden by Arab jockeys, was scheduled to run at Wolverhampton yesterday. Her debut was delayed by a series of colds and having won seven out of nine races in Israel, George Baker, her British trainer, was hoping that she could maintain her winning formula.

Update: Vanilla Bally finished last in the race. She missed the break when the stalls opened and as she recovered grund, received a hefty bump at the first turn, injuring her leg in the process.
