            Well, it's horses for courses, innit? Is there a Cavello?

                  .... ah, now we're getting somewhere!

                  The Sergio Leone reference is interesting, but curiously it was not what I had in mind.

                          indeed he did - indeed, it was his last (unfinisht) work - hence "ended" with a horse (Leon-cavallo) and "ended" with Oedipus...
