He does use beer to help him handicap and this is the 10th race, so I'm guessing he might have been hallucinating at this point.

I think I figured it out, they are two different horses, Langham (GB) is a three year old filly by Royal Applause out of Three Ducks trained by Martyn Meade who ran today as it happens at Yarmouth in the UK, unplaced. Langham (USA) is a (currently) unraced three year old colt by Fastnet Rock out of Vapour trained by John Sadler, that makes his debut tomorrow at del mar.

The US and UK Jockey Clubs have different databases and sometimes there is an overlap, I remember many years ago at Hollywood Park there were two different horses named Individualist, one was a Cal-Bred and one was from the UK, who were both regulars on the so cal circuit for a while, in fact there was one day where they literally ran in back to back races, so it can get kind of confusing.
