How come all you people on here are layers!!!!!

'Back' Golden Lilac for the prince of wales stakes

'lay' the rest in the race

As HRE demonstrates, there are two parties to every bet. Who's to say which is the layer and which
the backer? It's only convention that makes us nominate layer/backer the way we do.

Yep every layer is a backer of the rest of the field & vice versa
