I gave Ronnie a clue on the other bookie very surprised he didn’t get it
Another clue as he was left handed he was allowed to stand on the opposite side of the stool

Also to get for the two bonus points were the first names of the guntrip brother’s
John and Geoffrey Guntrip. I think Tom would have retired by then
Those were the two I had blackbarn I wasn’t even aware of Tom
Bonus 2 points which you didn’t need to be an easy winner well done

I had an account with Guntrips Jimnast, think one was Tom , i believe i was transferred to Sunderlands after they finished.
Thanks jimnast, at least got me thinking and googling!
Thought the bookie began with a G, Demmys it was!

WWell done Blackbarn, good memory or had the old form books out!
Your welcome Stewart’s ribero will know better but I think it was selwyn by then
Cheers blackbarn hopefully by the end of next week there will be questions arise from it for people to use in the years ahead .
Thanks Stewarts, bit of both, with some help from google (you need to know where to look).
Jimnast - Holy week next week, Plummers on Monday and then the gospel for the rest of the week. I was 71 this week and I hope I never ever fail to get excited about next week, or Goodwood of course.
ive been going since 1980 blackbarn and in that time i have missed only 5 days excluding pandemic year,this year i am only going tuesday i have took the view with the cost and hassle involved {had two hotels booked for the week taken over by migrants in the last 2 seasons}just one day this year ,to be honest as the years have gone by i now prefer royal ascot ,nonetheless i am still looking forward to the weeks racing even though there will be to many small fields.
Jimnast,
WD for the input, sadly i missed both, work the first, and away from the office for the next. I went through them, but wouldn't have got so many correct, i thought i had all angles covered with question 2 in the later quiz, but Ribero proved i hadn't.

Cheers Jimnast for the questions, tried to answer them without looking up on the internet. Great question re the bookmakers adverts.
Thanks for the quiz jimnast… some excellent questions.
Like you I cannot get too enthused about Cheltenham this year. They’ve over egged the pudding with the extra races, and with uncertainty over engagements I’ve been reluctant to do my homework.
Hope you have a most enjoyable week!

I thought the last bookie advert answer would have been Marshall.Was he about a few years before ?This was the 1st time I had heard Esal's name for a while,a good quiz.
