Following on from a few posts I read a couple of days ago regarding Epsom runners going into the NH sphere, couldn't resist cobbling together a few teasers to test the memories of the learned ones on here...!
All questions relate to the last 25 years to make it quick and easy, no googling now...!
1) Name the horse who finished 4th in a Derby and ended its career with two runs in the Grand National...?
2) Name a horse to have taken part in the Derby and then gone on to record 10 NH victories....?
3) Name the Derby runner up and the Derby third who were put over hurdles...?
4) Which Derby in the last 25 years has supplied the largest number of horses to be sent over jumps...?
5) There have been 8 horses to have run in the Derby to then go on and win races over both hurdle and chase obstacles, who are they...?

Silver Wisp was the Derby 3rd. Plato's Republic won over hurdles/fences - I'd guess the 1994 Derby he ran in produced most NH horses too.
|
|
By:
wd Mikael all correct, the 1994 Derby yielded 8 individual recruits to the NH game, Silver Wisp was indeed 3rd in 1992 and had one unsuccessful run at Punchestown and Plato's Republic won 1 hurdle and 1 chase

A St Leger winner that ran over hurdles?

Q8 Another one was Spartan General.

Moonax
|
|
By:
And did the Leger winner Aurelius run in the Derby ?
He would be another for Q8 if he did. |
|
By:
That was the Leger winner I was thinking of ,I had forgotten Moonax.
|
|
By:
Aurelius won over fences as well as hurdles.
Had a happy time at stud for a year or two but was basically infertile so lost his ghoulies and sent jumping. |
