the 1982 case study is slightly different , in that derby upsetter gato del sol skipped the preakness won by aloma’s ruler . neither could cope with conquistador cielo in the belmont , where gato del sol was best of the rest , but aloma’s ruler turned the tables in both of their ensuing meetings , memorably when they were second and fifth , respectively , in the travers .
so it was only fitting with the tone of surprising reversals that eddie gregson , the winner ' s trainer , said that gato del sol would probably not run in the preakness stakes may 15 .

in the fall of ' 83 , gregson lost gato del sol to charlie whittingham , who had trained cougar . maturity , an emphasis on grass races and whittingham ' s considerable expertise still couldn ' t produce another major win for gato del sol . what jockey angel cordero once said about gato applied to too many of his races :
the horse is what you would call a plodder ; he keeps running at the same pace all the way around the track .

had gato del sol ' s owners , arthur hancock iii and leone peters , known what was ahead , they might have retired their horse the day after the derby . gato del sol was probably an $ 8 - million stallion then , but last november , before he ran eighth in the breeders ' cup turf stakes at hollywood park , hancock estimated that the horse ' s value had shrunk to about $ 2 . 5 million .
when exceller , a prime racer and a disappointing stud , ended up in a swedish slaughterhouse , arthur ' s wife , staci , began to worry . she fretted that gato del sol might meet the same fate .
eddie gregson trained gato del sol , and eddie delahoussaye rode him . in the derby their horse went off as a long shot from a seemingly impossible post position — 19 — and won by 2½ lengths over laser light .
the last time the travers field included three different triple crown winners was in 1982 , when gato del sol , aloma’s ruler , and conquistador cielo competed . none of those horses won , however , as runaway groom finished first .

it will be remembered as the topsy - turvy derby , the one in which the last finished first . by the end of the mile - and - a - quarter race today at churchill downs , gato del sol had come from last place in a field of 19 to win the 108th kentucky derby . so it was only fitting with the tone of surprising reversals that eddie gregson , the winner ' s trainer , said that gato del sol would probably not run in the preakness stakes may 15 . gato del sol , a son of cougar whose name translates from spanish as cat of the sun , finished 2 1 / 2 lengths ahead of laser light , who nipped reinvested by a neck for second . urltoken
gato del sol is owned and was bred in kentucky by arthur hancock 3d and leone j . peters , who collected $ 417 , 600 from a record derby purse of $ 522 , 600 . otherwise , the gray colt ' s victory was a california production . both delahoussaye and gregson do their racing in california , as had gato del sol until he finished second in the blue grass stakes nine days ago . the colt ' s victory was his first in five starts this year .
gato del sol has now earned $ 724 , 793 in winning three of 13 career starts . his other two victories were at del mar near san diego , where he won a maiden race last august , and the rich del mar futurity a month later . he also has been second in the blue grass and san felipe , third in the balboa and norfolk , and fourth in the santa anita derby .
immediately following the derby , trainer eddie gregson announced plans to skip the preakness s . - g1 and focus on the belmont s . - g1 , a race better suited to gato del sol ' s abilities . it would be the first time in 23 years that the derby winner opted to pass the preakness and a chance at triple crown splendor . unfortunately , gato del sol ' s belmont bid fell just short , as he finished second to eventual horse of the year conquistador cielo , who also won the metropolitan h . - g1 just five days earlier .
gato del sol , a son of cougar whose name translates from spanish as cat of the sun , finished 2 1 / 2 lengths ahead of laser light , who nipped reinvested by a neck for second . the three had been running in that order early in the race - at the back of the pack . if the field had been stopped at that point and turned backward , the result would have been the same as it was at the finish : coming out of the first turn , gato del sol was 19th , laser light was 18th and reinvested 17th .
as a juvenile , gato del sol ' s potential was evident when he captured the del mar futurity - g2 in september of 1981 . although it would be his last victory until the run for the roses , the gray colt was runner - up in the prestigious blue grass s . - g1 as his last prep race for the derby and also had placed in the norfolk s . - g1 , san felipe h . - g2 , and hollywood prevue s . no race carries quite the impact as the derby , however , and gato del sol , rallying from last in the field of 19 , crossed the wire first in the most coveted race in north america .
standing at stone farm , gato del sol never lived up to expectations at stud , although he did sire some useful horses . he was sold to stand in germany beginning in 1993 , as it was hoped that european breeding would nicely compliment the strong turf and distance aspects of his pedigree . six years later , after hearing the disturbing news of exceller ' s untimely death in a swedish slaughterhouse , the hancocks bought gato del sol back and immediately pensioned him . the derby winner now enjoys his days in retirement , spending his time in a paddock at his birthplace and enjoying the attention of visiting fans .
gato del sol , who was gray in his youth , went off at 21 - 1 odds and won the derby in shocking style . on the track he never again approached such eminence , retiring at age 6 . his second career , as a stud , was uninspiring , to put it kindly .

ironically , linkage , the colt who beat gato del sol by 5 1 / 2 lengths in the blue grass , was sent to maryland after that race to prepare for the preakness . that decision to skip the derby was almost as surprising as gregson ' s to skip the preakness . ' a longrunning horse '
this year , the horse developed an ankle problem , and even though whittingham squeezed out that last win in the 1 1 / 2 - mile caballero two months ago , gato del sol still finished with a record of only 2 wins in 17 starts on the turf . even the grass wasn ' t greener .
laser light might also pass the preakness in favor of the belmont . like gato del sol , he gets better the farther he runs and his trainer , pat kelly , said earlier this week that the belmont was his ultimate goal . the last derby winner to skip the preakness was tomy lee in 1959 . unusual misfortunes
ringquist is now married to may britt , the former actress . not long removed from her native sweden , britt had a brief marriage to the late eddie gregson , a 19 - year - old fledgling actor , in the late 1950s . in 1982 , gregson trained gato del sol , winner of the kentucky derby .

the third - longest shot on the board , gato del sol flew under everyone ' s radar and pulled a massive upset to win the 1982 kentucky derby at odds of 21 - 1 . though the field that assembled was arguably one of the weakest in recent years , he rallied from last to first to win by 2
the hancocks found that gato del sol had been sold to a farm in germany . they plunked down about $ 5 , 500 to buy him back — and another $ 12 , 500 or so to ship him back to kentucky . he ' s one of about 200 horses on their 2 , 000 - acre farm .
american pharoah ( 2015 ) and gato del sol ( 1982 ) are the only two to win from post # 18 . # 19 and # 20 only have one winner apiece : i’ll have another ( 2012 ) , and big brown ( 2008 ) respectively . the only post to never host a derby winner is # 17 .
gato del sol carried eddie delahoussaye through the 10 furlongs in 2 : 02 2 / 5 , creditable time considering this derby field had been considered the weakest in recent years . he returned $ 44 . 40 for $ 2 to win , the longest derby payoff since proud clarion paid $ 62 . 20 in 1967 . second largest crowd
less jaundiced historians will remember gato del sol as a derby winner who raced into his sixth year , the first to last that long since tomy lee , winner of the race in ' 59 . he was still on the track as a 7 - year - old . but tomy lee made only three starts from ages 4 through 6 .
in 1984 , at the age of nine , the mighty gelding was back for still another grueling season . in his first start that year , he was beaten by champion interco and kentucky derby winner gato del sol in the santa anita handicap after stumbling out of the gate . he was third behind the same pair in the san luis rey .
( hank wesch was the turf writer for the san diego union and union - tribune for 25 years . he authored a book on del mar’s history “del mar : where the turf meets the surf , ” in 2011 and has written del mar’s “stable notes” for the past four years . )
their absences left many racing people feeling that this was an unusually sub - par field . that the first two finishers were sent off at 21 - 1 and 18 - 1 would support that notion . also , gato del sol ' s winning time was the fourth slowest in the last 20 years , over a track that was otherwise fast today .
the california - bred colt would become the seventh horse to race at del mar after winning the kentucky derby , joining gato del sol ( 1982 kentucky derby winner ) , ferdinand ( 1986 ) , unbridled ( 1990 ) , silver charm ( 1997 ) , war emblem ( 2002 ) and giacomo ( 2005 ) . a son of lucky pulpit , california chrome drew post no . 5 with regular rider victor espinoza and is scheduled to meet five three - year - old rivals .
gregson had said several times this week that he thought gato del sol would be at his best in the mile - and - a - half belmont stakes , three weeks after the preakness . but a mile and a quarter seemed long enough for him today . now gregson , hancock and peters will have to decide whether shortening him up only a sixteenth of a mile will really compromise his form .
gato del sol went through all of 1984 without winning . even so , he probably ran his best post - derby races last year . he was beaten by a neck by interco in the san luis rey stakes at santa anita , ran third behind john henry and royal heroine in the arlington park million , and was second , a length behind both ends burning , in the oak tree invitational .
there were physical problems along the way . trainer eddie gregson wisely skipped the preakness , incurring the wrath of most of the state of maryland , and after a distant second - place finish to conquistador cielo in the belmont stakes , gregson wanted to bypass the travers at saratoga , too . but gato del sol did run in the travers , finished last and suffered a chipped knee that sidelined him for almost nine months after surgery .
although known as the
most exciting two minutes in sports ,
the kentucky derby - g1 can take a lifetime to win , or in arthur b . hancock iii ' s case , four lifetimes , as he is a fourth - generation horseman but the first in his family to capture the elusive prize . in 1982 , gato del sol , a flashy gray homebred , brought derby glory to hancock ' s stone farm .

none of the four later wins - - which gave the 6 - year - old gray a career total of seven - - amounted to anything . there was an allowance race at saratoga in 1982 , three months after his derby victory ; in ' 83 , a win on the grass in the spring at hollywood park and a win in the minor cabrillo handicap at del mar in august ; and this year , a win in the obscure caballero handicap at hollywood may 18 , which was the last start in gato del sol ' s 39 - race career .

there were two things in gato del sol ' s favor , however . for openers , no one knew that he was running against one of the weakest derby fields in years . timely writer , who had won the flamingo stakes and the florida derby , and hostage , winner of the arkansas derby , were out with injuries . the lukewarm favorite was air forbes won , winner of the wood memorial and undefeated , but a colt who had run only four times .
the colt , born in 1979 , was bred in partnership by hancock and leone peters , a longtime client of stone farm ' s . hancock and peters had bought his dam , peacefully , as a yearling at saratoga and campaigned her to a stakes win . after she was retired to stone farm as a broodmare , she was bred to stone farm stallion and eclipse award winner cougar ii for two consecutive years . her second mating to the stallion produced gato del sol .

gato del sol came away relaxed in last position and clear of horses , advanced on the outside under his own courage in the backstretch , picked up the field with a strong run completing the turn to take command before the furlong pole , was unaffected by reinvested leaning on him briefly and drew clear under strong right hand use of the whip into the final yards . laser light also relaxed in the early running , followed gato del sol around horses leaving the backstretch and was wide straightening away for the final stretch drive , loomed boldly but could not sustain his bid while gamely besting reinvested for the place . reinvested , intimidated by water bank leaving the half - mile marker and bothering cassaleria , swung slightly out on that rival getting room on the outside to follow gato del sol approaching mid - stretch , leaned in briefly under right hand urging and hung . water bank saved ground early , found room between rivals with a stretch bid and hung . muttering , well placed from the beginning , made a bid between horses entering the stretch and weakened slightly . rockwall finished well without being a threat . air forbes won responded with a strong run to reach the leaders completing the final turn and weakened late . star gallant was never a serious factor . majesty ' s prince bore out slightly while tiring . cupecoy ' s joy set the pace in comfortable fashion into the stretch turn before giving way . el baba , well situated closest to the pace , drew on even terms for the lead entering the stretch and weakened suddenly . cassaleria was being outrun when bothered by reinvested in the backstretch and never became a factor . royal roberto was outrun at all stages . bold style saved ground racing forwardly placed for six furlongs and tired . wolfie ' s rascal lost ground and dropped back early . new discovery gave a dull effort . real dare tired badly . scratched - rock steady .

' ' we ' ll be sitting down and talking about it , ' ' peters said . ' ' it ' s up to our trainer . ' ' hancock and peters were represented in last year ' s derby by tap shoes , one of the favorites , who finished 14th . hancock is the eldest son of arthur hancock 2d , owner of claiborne farm , perhaps the most regal breeding farm in the country and the current home of several retired derby winners , including secretariat and spectacular bid . but the younger hancock went on his own after a dispute with his family and founded stone farm on an adjacent piece of land , where gato del sol was born and raised . a brilliant future

the wide and stone paved path starts with a steep slope that twists and turns in between the almond trees , known as the cuesta del cachondeo . in front of the worn walls of the albacara , which were once plastered with rammed earth and lime , we find a fork on the road . the path runs alongside the wall and connects the puerta del viento ( gate of the wind ) , to the left , with the puerta de los molinos ( gate of the mills ) , to the right . after crossing the puerta del viento , we turn to a path which descends to the right . this path is made of slippery pebbles that can make the walk more difficult when it rains . if so , be careful not to fall and watch out for any passing vehicles .

the gr - 141 continues its way to jimera de líbar after a level crossing and the bridge over the guadiaro . the path that we see by the river leads to the charco de la barranca and the cueva del gato . we will turn south , following the signs of the gr - 141 , gr - 249 and sl - a 138 . we will encounter the ruins of some old mills associated near the river banks and inns like the one of maría joaquina , located on the left bank and easily recognisable for its two palm trees in the front patio , devoured by the red palm weevil . we can see again how the erosion removes the soil that hides the stone pavement .
we leave behind the municipality of ronda and enter that of benaoján . a road crosses the railway towards the pasada de gibraltar , fording the guadiaro river and resuming the cañada real together with the pr - 251 and heading to cueva del gato , estación de benaoján and benaoján . we continue straight into a well marked trail , the camino viejo de ronda ( old road to ronda ) , which gradually climbs higher and higher through huge retamas ( a species of broom bush ) and groups of fan palms . asparagus plants , thorny brooms , buckthorns and wild olive trees also grow here . if we look up to the sky we will surely spot committees of griffon vultures , which are abundant in the area .

ferdinand’s del mar victory – the second in a four - race streak which also included the hollywood gold cup and the goodwood handicap ( now the awesome again stakes ) – was the cabrillo handicap . this ungraded event was run for the last time in 1990 , giving way when the pacific classic was inaugurated in 1991 .
we are now entering the sierra de grazalema natural park . at this point we can cross the cañada real del campo de gibraltar through the itineraries gr - 7 and pr - 251 to montejaque and to the boquete de mures . our choice is to follow the track that overlaps with the pr - 253 and the gr - 249 . we walk alongside railroad track and the guadiaro river . we will see the limestone mountainsides of the cerro de mures and the sierra del algarrobo to the west , dedicated to dry - land farming . after leaving behind the wide meadow known as vega of huertas nuevas , at the point where the guadiaro approaches the cañada real , we find a prominent and solitary ash tree .

with years of experience working in real estate and banking in the netherlands , peter decided 11 years ago to start a new life in spain . during these 11 years he and his partner set up and managed successfully the restaurant el gato lounge in torremolinos . never losing his interest in real estate , they started renting out holiday properties for home owners several years ago . he would love to represent your interests and will be proud to arrange the best possible deal for you .
“steviewonderboy had such a great mind . i think it takes a brilliant two - year - old who also has a brilliant mind to win a race like the del mar futurity , ” o’neill said . “steviewonderboy just got stung by the injury bug early on in his three - year - old campaign or i think he would have been a factor in the derby . ”
we begin the first part of the gr 141 gran senda de la serranía de ronda ( great track of the serrania de ronda ) in plaza de maría auxiliadora ( maría auxiliadora square ) , also known as plaza del campillo . it is located in the historical centre of the city and near a row of natural balconies that look over the hoya del tajo ( river basin of the tajo de ronda ) , a great steep depression through which the guadalevin river runs . the quickest way to get here , taking the municipal tourism office next to the bull ring as reference , would be to get to the nearby plaza de españa and to cross the famous puente nuevo ( new bridge ) . then , we just have to follow armiñan and tenorio streets .
the neighbourhood of estación de benaoján was built due to the construction of the bobadilla - algeciras railroad . it reached its peak in the mid - 20th century , when the delicatessen lived its best moments . the industrial restructuring of the 80s caused its decline and many abandoned factories remain as proof . nevertheless , we can still buy different pork products ( like manteca de lomo , zurrapa colorá , caña de lomo , salchichón , etc . ) . in the last few years tourism activities have developed and we now find numerous restaurants and accommodations . from benaoján station we can follow several tracks of great interest . the one that takes you through the sl - a 139 towards the cueva del gato ( 2 . 2km long ) , and the one going up to the cueva de la pileta and through the sierra de grazalema natural park ( 3 . 2km ) are highly recommendable .
why it was shocking : though he had won the prestigious del mar futurity as a juvenile , his three - year - old season had been less inspiring . from four races as a sophomore , he had failed to win and was fourth in the santa anita derby in his final prep , leaving questions as to whether or not he had peaked as a two - year - old .
kentucky derby and preakness winner california chrome will make his turf debut in saturday ' s grade 1 , $ 300 , 000 hollywood derby at del mar . a neck third in the breeders ' cup classic , the art sherman - trained colt can make a push for horse of the year and champion three - year - old male with a victory in the 1 1 / 8 - mile turf affair .
american pharoah , who first showcased his talent winning the 2014 del mar futurity , was the derby favorite and obvious horse to watch . and it wasn’t difficult to follow the yellow and blue dotted silks of owner ahmed zayat as jockey victor espinoza guided american pharoah on a wide - but - clear trip from the no . 18 post and prevailed by a length over a game firing line and gary stevens .
real quiet couldn’t win at his first six race attempts in 1997 . he had finished third in four races prior to his del mar fourth - place finish . but he won two of his next three starts , including the hollywood futurity ( g1 ) , and the following year went closer than any horse between affirmed and american pharoah to completing the triple crown , losing the belmont stakes on the line by a nose .
kentucky - bred and venezuelan - raced canonero ii finished fifth , 7 3 / 4 lengths behind june darling in the 1970 del mar futurity . the following may , however , he shocked the racing world with a 3 3 / 4 length victory in the derby . part of the six - horse “field” in a race with 20 horses but technology for only 14 betting interests , canonero ii paid $ 19 . 20 to win and left horse players to wonder what his odds might have been as a solo option .
after a steep slope , we finally surmount the mountain pass of la muela , superb balcony to make a stop and to look back . up to here , the track coincides with the local trail sl - a 38 molinos del tajo ( mills of the tajo ) . this itinerary is also part of the montejaque - ronda section of the gr - 7 ( e / 4 ) and the small routes that lead to benaoján ( pr - a 251 ) and montejaque ( pr - a 253 ) , that converge from this point onwards .
however , the filly lexie lou , winner of the queen ' s plate at woodbine and most recently the autumn miss at santa anita , is cross - entered to sunday ' s grade 1 matriarch for fillies and mare on turf . the hollywood derby is one of three stakes on the penultimate day of del mar ' s bing crosby season along with the native diver , a grade 3 event at 1 1 / 8 miles on polytrack ; and jimmy durante , a one - mile grade 3 turf affair for three - year - old fillies .
from the small bridge that crosses the guadalcobacín river , we can see the point where the two rivers ( guadalcobacín and guadalevín ) meet . from this point onwards the river is known as guadiaro . black poplars , poplars , willows and ash trees grow on the river bank and barbels are easily spotted in its waters . further on , we will see a small stream , the arroyo del cupil , flowing into the guadiaro river . we leave the paved track and cross the railroad at the level crossing , after which we will find another fork in the road .
once we arrive at a mound on the road , we can look out to see a splendid panoramic of benaoján and its mountain range . afterwards , we will follow our path along the oak - covered mountainside . we will also find oaks , ardiviejas ( a type of rockrose ) , furzes , matagallos ( a type of nettle ) , and osyrises . on the other side of the river , in the paraje de la fresnedilla , we will observe the water supply facilities of benaoján and the old vegetable gardens of andalusi origin , which are still cultivated . after a small descent , the road crosses a bridge over the arroyo del agua ( stream of the water ) . once we have crossed the river , which is covered in rosebays , we can visit the ruins of the inn of arroyo del agua with the ruiniform cachón background on the opposite bank . behind the walls and looking to the river , a part of the old stone paving is still preserved , as well as some fig trees and a marvellous laurel . it is here that the road turns into a small path . after a light ascent , we reach another fabulous hillock where the path cuts through the rock .

as it happened with the benaoján station , this neighborhood rose thanks to the construction of the algeciras - bobadilla railroad . the nice climate of the town , in which vegetable gardens and citrus fruits proliferate , did not come unnoticed by the tourists , who made the area the leading edge in rural tourism in the region of málaga . from here we can make different itineraries : on one hand , across the cañada real del campo de gibraltar and the guadiaro , and through the proper town of jimera de líbar on the other . you can also practice canoeing , as the section of the river in between the stations of benaoján and jimera is perfect for doing so . several whitewater rafting competitions have been held here .

elachista maculicerusella is a moth of the elachistidae family that is found in europe .

the wingspan is 10 – 12 millimetres ( 0.39 – 0.47 in ) .

the moth flies from may to august depending on the location .

the larvae mines the stems of phalaris arundiacea , phragmites australis and other grasses on occasion .

the mine starts at the leaf tip and descends as an irregular blotch mine .

the mine is flat and quite shallow .

the frass is initially deposited in the oldest , upper part of the mine , but later in strings .

the larva may leave the mine and restart elsewhere .

pupation takes place outside of the mine .

larva makes a large whitish blotch and mines the leaf downwards . the frass tends to be deposited in the upper part of the mine ( british leafminers ) .
oviposition usually not far from the leaf tip . from there descends an irregular blotch mine . hering ( 1957a ) describes the mine as flat and quite shallow , giving it a greenish , rather than whitish appearance . frass initially in the oldest , upper part of the mine , later in strings . the larva can leave its mine and restart elsewhere . normally only one larva per mine , but sometimes two or even three mines in a leaf . pupation outside the mine ( bladmineerders van europa ) .
larva : the larvae of moths have a head capsule and chewing mouthparts with opposable mandibles ( see video of a gracillarid larva feeding ) , six thoracic legs and abdominal legs ( see examples ) .
yellowish green , head and pronotum pale brown ; see steuer ( 1987a ) for a detailed description ( bladmineerders van europa ) . the larva is illustrated in british leafminers .
pupa : the pupae of moths have visible head appendages , wings and legs which lie in sheaths ( see examples ) .
anchored externally on the foodplant by a silken girdle ( ukmoths ) . the pupa is illustrated in british leafminers .
adult : the adult is illustrated in ukmoths . the species is included in urltoken .
comments : festuca pratensis is treated as schedonorus pratensis ( meadow fescue ) by stace ( 2010 ) .
time of year - larvae : october - june ; july ( british leafminers ) .
time of year - adults : between may and august in one or two broods depending on latitude ( ukmoths ) .
distribution in great britain and ireland : occurring widely in england and southern scotland , this species is relatively common in damp habitats such as river and canal banks and marshes ( ukmoths ) including anglesey , bedfordshire , caernarvonshire , cambridgeshire , denbighshire , derbyshire , dorset , east kent , east norfolk , east suffolk , flintshire , glamorgan , hertfordshire , huntingdonshire , kincardineshire , leicestershire , middlesex , north essex , north northumberland , north hampshire , north somerset , nottinghamshire , shropshire , south hampshire , south lancashire , south northumberland , south - east yorkshire , south - west yorkshire , stafford , surrey , warwickshire , west gloucestshire , west norfolk , west suffolk , westmorland and wigtownshire ( nbn atlas ) .
also recorded in the republic of ireland ( karsholt and van nieukerken in fauna europaea ) . see also ireland ' s nbdc interactive map .

i det avancerade verktyget kan man söka ut och få fram artlistor , t ex arter i ett visst län , i en viss biotop , substrat , som påverkas av en hotfaktor , eller som är knutna till en sk värdart , t ex trädet alm . dessa kan även kombineras .
söka fram arter som är rödlistade , knutna till alm , är beroende av död ved och som finns i kronobergs län .
söka fram arter som är rödlistade , lever i småvatten och som påverkas negativt av igenväxning .
defaultläget i verktyget är arter som är rödlistade 2015 och dessa är klassade på samtliga sökfaktorer . under fliken rödlistekategori kan man dock välja att även inkludera arter som inte är rödlistade . om man väljer att inkludera icke rödlistade arter behöver man vara medveten om att samtliga arter inte är klassade på samtliga faktorer . nedan en sammanställning av vad som är komplett .
denna funktion används när du vill skapa din egen lista av arter att hantera . du kan t . ex . navigera mellan arterna i listan genom att klicka på deras namn . du kan också välja att använda knappen ”jämför arter” för att se bilder , kartor och kännetecken i en jämförelsevy .
du kan komponera ditt eget urval av arter genom att klicka dig fram via släktträdet och där välja arter eller artgrupper till din lista . ett annat sätt att göra ditt urval är att använda fliken ”filtrera” , där du kan söka på olika egenskaper . ovanför listan med sökresultatet finns en knapp ”lägg i mitt urval” .
