Of all the sets of colours worn during THIS Royal Ascot Meeting, there are colours that have PREVIOUSLY been worn aboard the winners of each of the FIVE English Classics.
You need to describe each set of colours and name FIVE horses that bore these colours to victory (you must name one horse for each classic)
Be careful, be very very careful. Good luck

Hi Ged, I am looking for a set of colours that won ALL FIVE classics and that set of colours is running at Royal Ascot this week.
I think there may be more than one answer

The maroonish colours with the yellow braid on the front, that someone in the Coventry had on looked like **** Hollingsworth (?) colours. Bireme or something like that?
Green,white and pink.
Dancing Brave,Zafonic,Quest for fame,Rainbow Quest and Danehill.

GERARD - Do you wish to enter?, or are you just helping myohmy?
My worry with KA is that I have a suspicion his Derby winners didn't wear the pink cap?
Danehill didnt win a classic.

The trouble with the old Aga Khan and the late Maktoum (Maktoum al Maktoum) is that there are no longer runners in these colours.

The Elyaadi colours look like a set of Aga Khans colours.
Think Flyingbolt the first correct Abdulla set. Need to check the "Magnier et al" one(s) as I have a different set(s). Still more to get!!
Ballymacoll colours the same as Sir Michael Sobell!, mind you he didn't have a 1k winner either.

Mighty Fly - Tulyar (what did I tulyar) was the old Aga Khan - Green and Red hoops I think (well hoops anyway)
Flyingbolt is correct with regard to ownership however onlooker is spot on as Toulon had pink epaulettes .
The old Aga's colours were chocolate and green hoops. Shardari also ran in them, as a throwback.
what about the red and white with blue cap of stoutes? anything there?
One point to Outpost and one point to Flyingbolt so far. Still researching the Magnier one. There is definitely at least one more (totally unrelated to the Magniers)
Dont think there are all five in either (any) of the Aga Khan colours. Unless you know better?
The Aga Khans grandfather owned Bahram Rose Royale and Udaipur am pretty sure they carried the same colours.
Green,white and pink.
Dancing Brave,Zafonic,Quest for fame,Rainbow Quest and Commander in chief.

All KA entries now closed, I forgot about the french colours being different and that bloody cap. Still others to go!.
Wince,Frankel,Reams of verse,Workforce and Toulon.
Well done S and C - Third place in the Khalid Abdulla stakes.
Special Duty,Frankel,Reams of verse,Quest for fame and Toulon.
Correct Ged. Not 100% certain about Hypericum colours but ssems pretty certain and E.VII AND QE11 defo correct.
KHALID ABDULLA entries closed, as Ged says there are not all five with IDENTICAL colours. Toulon wore the french colours. My mistake but I did correct it.
Black, White Cap, White buttonhole.
List of classic winners is endless but I`ll list one of each:
Derby - HYPERION
1000 - HERRINGBONE
2000 - GARDEN PATH
Oaks - OUIJA BOARD
St Leger - HERRINGBONE
Other 4 colours are Aga Khan, Abdulla, Tabor and Magnier

The Derby colours are not at Ascot this week though, are they?
Don`t know mate, I`m hazarding a guess although he only has 3 horses in training I think.
The only other colours I can think of that would fit the profile are the Sobell/Ballymacoll Stud of sky blue, yellow cap with white spots, but I think they have only been successful in 4 of the 5 classics.

What about the Rothschild family? Couldn't name the horses without googling but they've got Russelliana going in the Coronation.
Ged - correct, not sure how I missed Highclere.
The Mighty Mac, Lord Derby does not have a runner this week and pretty sure none of the several Aga Khans won all five classics.
SLB - great stuff!! Two points. Got any more?

Bahram won the Triple Crown in 1936
Udaipur won the Oaks in 1932
Rose Royale won the 1000 guineas in 1957
all owned by the present Aga Khans grandfather.

Correct Wildman. All owned by Aga Khan III so reasonable to assume they all wore the hooped colours. Good stuff.
Scores so far
SLB 2 (Glanely and Miller)
Flyingbolt 1 (for getting Abdulla correct)
Outpost 1 (for getting Abdulla more correct)
Geoff M 1 (for Magnier Dark Blue)
