Plumpton Trivia..................

I'm guessing Colin Brown?

Good guess but obvious and wrong.

OK Blackbarn, don't be too harsh on me!

Richard Dunwoody, if I'm allowed a second go

Didnt Simon Sherwood ride him couple times

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.

Yes Blencathra but not him either.

might be a post-racing career sort of trick question

as in parading but not racing like the crazy c hill stuff at chelt

The trainer at the time,  if not Elsworth, may be a decent clue

Good start Busyfool.  Clue 1 - DO never raced at Plumpton.  Clue 2 - The jockey in question is at Plumpton today.

The jockey have a double barrel surname ??

Blencathra - Nope, but I bet I know who you are thinking of.

SSE

Joe Tizzard?
Not pumpkin head?

Another clue - It was Easter Monday 1999 and Busyfool correct - He paraded, galloped at some speed in front of the stands to huge cheers.

No to Ecc, Joe and the Pumpkin.    The latter is on the right lines though.

Elsworth himself

Gary Moore?

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

Not Gary but a really good guess.

Sherwood?

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??

rowe

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!!!

Good quiz question blackbarn
