Are we talking the Kurtsystem for number 5?
|
|
By:
That was a great answer but NO. I`ll give you and others a clue.
It`s a cryptic clue rather than a factual question. Answer is in the question. 1.01 leif gets it first. |
|
By:
It`s quite difficult but if I gave the number of letters in the answer like a crossword clue you would get it in a minute by deduction and common sense.
|
|
By:
On second thoughts, it`s virtually impossible for anyone to work out the answer as it is, so I will list below as it would appear in a crossword puzzle which will make easy to get.

Answer is a word jumble of athleticism or use in case anyone is still having a ponder.

Well done tattcorner!
As tattcorner knows: Sir Michael Stoute is anagram of athleticism or use which is hidden within the cryptic clue. ..... And there are not many trainers in Newmarket who are "Sir" apart from him and Sir Mark. End of quiz. Leif is the overall winner with 2pts. |
