Notices / lotto results to 23rd March and solve the puzzle - Cotteemcavennigoal

The winner of a race at Navan yesterday had a great name for the commentator and for a few supporters of a certain club!

The owners of the horse are from Wicklow but they are big West Ham Utd fans.

The name of the horse is just brilliant - Cotteemcavennigoal.

The question is can you identify Cotteemcavennigoal in the above photo - it's one of the three horses (the colours are a clue).

What the heck is that name all about anyway - Cotteemcavennigoal.

You would probably have to be of a certain vintage to get it?

Check up on all the club notices from the past week - no jackpots won tonight.
