4 Boomerang - Eddie Macken

21 - other one was Tachypous. Memory is an odd thing - I could remember what type of horse he was, but couldn't rmemeber the name - then I did.

15. Northern Dancer?

Third correct answer for George B.

8. Dettori?
18.Sea Pigeon?

Yes and thanks for continuing in your role as the forums archivist.
George B Frankie Dettori correct but not Sea Pigeon.
Another clue for Q13 he was called a jaffa.

5. Golden Miller?

Thank you, onlooker.

Being a bit hard on yourself, there, wildman - especially given the hard work you have put into this efort.

Golden Miller sire was Goldcourt ...

Goldcourt's sire was ..... GOLDLINER.

Off out for a last orders couple of pints, now -

I will raise a glass to you.

onlooker - thankyou. I think then that Mrs Piggott ('almost' won at Haydock yesterday, where it all started for the lad) may have been known to some by her second forename.

20 ribot....

18-Monksfield

Blimey - I thought the answers were all DAMS.

wildman - surely Fred Archer's wife was Helen Dawson, daughter of Mat Dawson's brother?

13- only fools and horses  tune?

Well, yes, penzance - That seems something of a 'No Brainer' from the clue....

especially as the original clue is ... MARLENE - a character from the series

However, I cannot find a title for the 'Only Fools and Horses' theme tune - if, indeed,  there even is one.

It is, somewhat affectionately, referred to as "Hookey Street."
---------------------------------

ged -

I thought maybe St Leger winner Julio Mariner  - or Oaks  Juliette Marny - maybe ...

But there is non connection to MARLENE in their pedigrees.

Looks like i could be apologising again.In all the quizzes i put up i always slip in some that are a bit off base,all the clues were mothers and the answers were all their offspring.The two that were different were Q13 and Q16 and ged got Q16 clue Necessity answer invention as in the saying necessity is the mother of invention.
Marlene was a character in the comedy Only fools and horses,she had no children but her husband Boycie bought her a dog which she constantly referred to as her baby,the dog was a great dane called Duke so answer Duke,i should have told you the answer was a dog but that would have sent you down the greyhound route.
Q6.This could be my second mistake in this quiz.I thought Fred Archer married Matt Dawsons niece not his daughter and i thought her name was Helen Humble,maybe Onlooker will come to our aid again,so the answer required was the name of Fred Archers daughter,an early Pink Floyd record would be a clue.

The popular story regarding Fred Archer's death is -

That  he shot himself - due to the sufferings from constant 'wasting' and diuretics, and other substances, to keep his weight down

However, he was also pre-deceased by his wife -  HELEN ROSE - and suffered a depression from that  sad loss, too.

Newspaper cuttings - re: Fred Archer's death.
---------------------------------------------

Archer’s motherless little girl, of whom he was passionately fond, has this week been staying at the residence of deceased’s father-in-law, Mr John Dawson, senior.

Mourners:

A simple but very elegant wreath was forwarded by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, the bearer being Lord Alington, who, however, attended the funeral in his private capacity as a friend of the deceased.

Carriage containing Mr J. Dawson (father-in-law), Messrs J.A. Dawson and G. Dawson (brothers-in-law), and Mr M. Dawson (formerly master and subsequently partner of the deceased).

I wish I had yours and ged's memory.

Sadly, I don't - However, I do know where, and how, to find all the answers in my (too) extensive Library.

Cleared the loft out - having Insulation renewed before the winter.
Surrounded by boxes of books and other racing related references -
If I had a wife, she would be going ballistic.

I think Fred Archer's wife was commonly known as Nellie Rose.

So maybe Fred's daughter was called Nellie ?
