A divorced couple in the UK have sponsored races to get back at each other in a tit-for-tat battle despite parting company more than 20 years ago.

The Racing Post reported David Chillery and his wife Madeline split in 1997 but Mr Chillery has sponsored a race to commemorate his single status at his local track Newton Abbot for the last eight years.

The last edition of his race was in June with the running of the David Chillery Continues Celebrating His Divorce Novices Handicap Chase.

But Madeline has decided to get square with her ex-husband.

Monday’s Wolverhampton card features the Celebrating 22 Years Without David Chillery Fillies’ Novice Stakes.

The two-year-old fillies’ race has attracted 10 runners with the James Tate-trained Melodic Charm has been well-backed from 3/1 into a 13/8 favourite.

However, we’re with the Racing Post team – Endless Joy looks a good omen bet in the race.
