Lillian Rickaby was Lesters mother.
Q21.Stilvi a great broodmare and i have another of her foals in my list. |
|
By:
I thought Lester's mum was Iris?
|
|
By:
I thought Stilvi had another good one, but can't think of it
|
|
By:
Nearly certain it was Lillian.
In the darts at the weekend they were playing double in double out which was the darts we played,if a player failed to get away and was beaten it was called a brush,is ged going to brush the forum on this quiz. |

By:
I don't know any more! Could make a few wildish guesses. I thought one of the Helen's might be Johnson-Houghton, but she was a Walwyn. I think Peace should be in the list. I remember seeing her win the Blue Seal at Ascot on her debut, and she produced plenty. For some reason I liked her, and her offspring.

Libra 'should' be there too. Another favourite of mine.
|
|
By:
Thank God for George B you saved the brush,two correct.
2,15 and 20 all turned out great sires. 14 and 22 Gold Cup winners. |
|
By:
I thought 22 should be a chaser. Sounds like there's a connection to Arctic Slave, and may be Twilight Alley!
|
|
By:
Is 2 a Coolmore horse? If you yes, I'll guess Sadlers
|
|
By:
Sadlers Wells correct.
5 is also a Gold Cup winner. |
|
By:
Ha! It was Libra who did a lot to help Romanella's son be a great sire! I won't cheat any more. Good night.

One of my favourite racing question is What horse started favourite for the 2000 Guineas,The Derby,The Irish Derby and The St Leger and won none of them.
|
|
By:
Was that 'favourite for ...' question ?
Ribofillio |
|
By:
Correct,Ribofilio in 1969 and a son of Libra.
|
|
By:
Would 6 or 7 be Rupert and Katie? I'll guess 7.
|
|
By:
Helen Whyte is now Helen Walsh and Ruby and Katies mother.
Q8 is also a jockeys mother. |
|
By:
14 Denman?
16 ought to be Invention, but I've never heard of such a horse. |
|
By:
I still think Lester's mum was called Iris.
I think John Francome's mum was called Lillian (but not a Rickaby). |
|
By:
Libra's paternal granddam was Selene - the moon goddess - would go well with Cybele.
|
|
By:
Maybe Onlooker will give the answer for us.
I always throw in a few strange ones and you are correct about 16 necessity is the mother of invitation. |
|
By:
I know of Ribocco,Ribero and Ribofilio as sons of Libra what became of her other foals?
|
|
By:
She also produced:-
Libra's Rib (to Ribot), who was placed in 9 Group races, winning one Roses For The Star (to Stage Door Johnny), who was 2nd in an Oaks (to Pawneese), Ribblesdale, and Park Hill Ad Lib Ra (to Droll Role) who was Group placed, and won the Extel at Goodwood. All trained by FJ-H, I think. |
|
By:
She was some broodmare,am off to Punchestown so will revisit tonight.
18 and 22 Champion Hurdle winners. |
|
By:
22 can only be one horse then (if your extra clues are correct!)
|
|
By:
Have a good day's racing
|
|
By:
Brilliant i kind of tried to slip one past you but you were on it in double jig time 22 correct.
I wont name the horse and will wait and see if someone else gets it. |
|
By:

 Lester Piggott is the cousin, through his mother Lilian Iris Rickaby, of two other jockeys, Bill and Fred Rickaby. |
