8. Ludlow, though I think they might have moved it (first fence in the straight), so it's no longer trappy.
9. Was John Thorne 56 when he rode Spartan Missile?
Report onlooker • December 24, 2023 2:09 AM GMT
John Thorne was - 54 - when he rode Spartan Missile to be 2nd in the Grand National
Peter O'Sullevan - famously said in commentary, when the horses were on the Run-In ...

"It's Aldaniti from Spartan Missile and 54-year-old John Thorne"

3 Who was the last jockey named Brian to win the Arc at Longchamp.

3.  Brian 'Cash' Asmussen

To be honest - I would not have remembered until I saw that Cash Asmussen was the Answer to question 19, aswell -
Then it clicked.

What a great set of questions Eddie I’m sorry I missed taking part I wouldn’t have got close to 3,7,8,14,without looking it up.

Favourite question was 16 will always be my favourite jockey and remember seeing micholozzo make his debut at Nottingham where he returned a big price beating a hot pot from the same yard despite a lot of clever money for him,the days before exchanges affected many touches.

Thanks


jimnast -glad you liked the questions -I think there is only 1 question that hasn't been answered correctly.


Geoff M -I was a big fan of Cash -he was very charismatic -was an awful man for getting beaten on short priced favourites.

Eddie i think he was riding the fav Bluebird for Obrien/Sangster but got beat cant recall by what or what year as went to them all in the 80s. Possibly Green Desert or Ajdal
Report Eddie Batt • December 24, 2023 11:17 AM GMT
Cacique -Big Money Mike Smith is correct -amazing when you think about it.

Geoff -I think Bluebird won a Kings Stand and then developed a habit of missing the break -1988 was the year.
