IT was the race of the century, the showdown of all time. It was known in horseracing circles as “the Great Match”, and it was so great that it drew the largest crowd at York’s Knavesmire – up to 150,000 people – since murderer Eugene Aram, guilty of killing his co-conspirator in the great Knaresborough shoe swindle, had been publicly executed there 91 years earlier. It was held on May 31, 1851, and it pitted The Flying Dutchman of Middleham against Voltigeur of Richmond, the two greatest racehorses of the day, and although Voltigeur lost, he still has a grand gate in a triumphal arch in his honour to this day.

Pair Arrested On Multiple Felonies After 11-Inch Blade Found During Santa Clarita Traffic Stop
A pair of suspects were arrested Wednesday on a slew of felony charges after allegedly finding an 11-inch blade, drugs and stolen checks in their vehicle during a Santa Clarita traffic stop.
Around 4 p.m. Wednesday, deputies patrolling the 31800 block of Castaic Road in Castaic observed a vehicle with no identifying information on record for the license plate attached, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“During a traffic stop, deputies contacted a male and female adult, and while speaking with the female adult, she was unable to provide any identifying information or registration to the vehicle,” Arriaga said.
“
Frente a los delitos de peculado por apropiación, es de anotar que, dada la pena establecida para ellos, aún no se encuentran prescritos, indicativo que, frente a estos delitos en particular, se debe continuar con el trámite procesal”, se establece por parte de la Sala de Conjueces.
La misma Sala también cuestiona que frente a este caso no se hayan tomado las acciones jurídicas pertinentes, sino hasta que se conociera una decisión de fondo.
“
No puede converger en esta Sala funciones del juez de conocimiento y actuar como juez de segunda instancia corrigiendo el fallo y tasando pena, porque habría una violación ostensible al principio constitucional de la doble instancia establecido en el artículo 31 de la Constitución Política, pues, es esta una garantía adicional a la del debido proceso, en busca de evitar errores judiciales como el aquí ocurrido. No existe en la ley 906 de 2004 norma alguna que nos autorice actuar así”, se indica por parte de la Sala.
