WMFB - you should ask questions that are 'ungoogleable' in the future like Quinn dropping his whip on Insan - that would sort out the limp-wristed farts from the rinky-dinks 
Have another brandy as they are not kicking in yet.
Storm Bird had his tail and mane cut by a disgruntled stable lad.
Linden Tree got his tail caught in the stalls when favourite for the 1971 Derby causing him to be left at the start.
Brilliant Cork Langer you are poorly named you got the hardest one.

For Cobbler there is Willie Shoemaker ,the great american ,who rode Hawaiian Sound to be placed at Epsom and in the Sweeps.Barry Hills/Bob Sangster.
Or maybe it was Shoemaker,trained by P Walwyn who was placed at Epsom.I do not recall if he ran at The Curragh or not.
Or maybe it was Shoemaker,trained by P Walwyn who was placed at Epsom.I do not recall if he ran at The Curragh or not.
Three more correct answers.
This cobbler was third. Willie SHoemaker rode Hawaiian Sound into third behind Shirley Heights.
The equine Shoemaker never travelled over for our Derby.
Rage against the dying of the light is a famous quote from Dylan Thomas.
Franca Vittadini was a top lady rider in the seventies and infamously broke poor Tony Murrays heart,her father was Carlo Vittadini who owned the great Grundy.

Fair shout but you would nearly have to be Irish to get this one,the key is the famous Moores melodies and this is one of them made famous by that great racing enthusiast Count John McCormack.
Thanks for clue Wild Man I'm not Irish but guess Q19 must be The Minstrel?
The MInstrel boy to the war has gone,a song I learnt in school.
The MInstrel correct winner of the 1977 Irish Derby.
