Horseracing: MARTIN Dwyer and old war horse Persian Punch are led into the winner's enclosure at Salisbury Racecourse on Thursday after a dramatic short head victory to land the Catisfield Hinton and Stud Conditions Stakes.

It was the 15th win of the popular horse's career and an extra special one for David Elsworth at what he considers to be the horse's home track.

However, the top trainer was at odds with fellow trainer Mick Channon over the course's decision to water the sun-drenched course prior to the meeting.
