I'm guessing Colin Brown?
|
|
By:
Good guess but obvious and wrong.
|
|
By:
OK Blackbarn, don't be too harsh on me!
Richard Dunwoody, if I'm allowed a second go |
|
By:
Didnt Simon Sherwood ride him couple times
|
|
By:
Sorry, didnt mean to be harsh. It was a good guess as is this one. This one is also wrong. Clues will be provided at regular intervals. This is very hard. The question was circulated among a group of racing mates and I got it but only because I was there. Questions of clarification are allowed which may help.

By:
Yes Blencathra but not him either.
|
|
By:
might be a post-racing career sort of trick question
as in parading but not racing like the crazy c hill stuff at chelt |
|
By:
The trainer at the time, if not Elsworth, may be a decent clue
|
|
By:
Good start Busyfool. Clue 1 - DO never raced at Plumpton. Clue 2 - The jockey in question is at Plumpton today.
|
|
By:
The jockey have a double barrel surname ??
|
|
By:
Blencathra - Nope, but I bet I know who you are thinking of.
|

Joe Tizzard?
Not pumpkin head? |
|
By:
Another clue - It was Easter Monday 1999 and Busyfool correct - He paraded, galloped at some speed in front of the stands to huge cheers.
|
|
By:
No to Ecc, Joe and the Pumpkin. The latter is on the right lines though.
|
|
By:
Elsworth himself
|
|
By:
Gary Moore?
|
|
By:
Sorry no!. The only jockey who actually rode DO in a race, not already mentioned is Graham Bradley. But it is not him either. Final clue - Jockey turned Trainer
|
|
By:
Not Gary but a really good guess.
|
|
By:
Sherwood?
|
|
By:
Final clue - Jockey turned Trainer - Won the Whitbread Gold Cup as a Jockey and Trainer - He is at Plummers today as he has a runner??

Well done Busyfool. Got a runner in the 2.15. I have to say I have no idea why he was chosen to ride it, AND until I googled him, no idea that he had both ridden AND TRAINED a Whitbread Gold Cup Winner. Thanks for taking part. I will tell him somebody got it!!!

Plumpton on a Monday afternoon is the perfect way to start the week.
Love the place. No Track Suit Dave today unfortunately as he's busy doing other stuff. |

By:
