Ihave often seen a quiz on the main forum but not on here so i will give it a try.
1.Batty Brennan races here.
2.A long way for Tadgh.
3.A number of fingers.
4.Silence for Micks lapdog.
5.The cannibal is irate.
6.Auditioner for the port advert.
7.Feral Aintree winner.
8.After the baker he won.
9.This gent loves his chips.
10.Repel about,they repel and congregated here.
11.Put in a swinging good word for a bad over hyped race.
12.Two ways to spell the colour hoary headed.
Not sure this will work on here but 100 euro to the one with most correct answers provided all are answered correctly.

You learn something new everyday!
Does your family have some connection with the horse? |
|
By:
Downallstar...No but i like the way you are thinking.
Giant Strides..No but learnt off Grand National Winners as a kid and that was the name that i liked. |

10. Leopardstown

By:
Ribellaro...Leopardstown correct was previously a leper colony....repel about = leper.

5. Thyestes?
|
|
By:
Both wrong....I may owe you all an apology its my first time doing this,they could be too hard.In my defence i have observed Ribellaro in action and the man is a quiz genius that would also apply to Xerophyte who is normally on the regular forum,it could also be that i am overly protective of my 100 euro.

1. Cork?
|
|
By:
Thyestes and Cork wrong.I think Q1 is unfair but funnily you are all on the right track, Batty Brennan was what was once called a spoilt priest....now have another go.

Tipperary Tim is correct....its a long way to Tipperary etc....He won the 1928 Aintree Grand National at 100/1 and my father backed him.

1. Laytown

By:
Three nil to Ribellaro...The fav beginning to draw clear.Downallstar deserves a mention because he first picked up on it and Gowran is in Kilkenny also Observerrl realised that Bartholemew is shortened to Batt or Batty in Cork.
|
|
By:
Four nil to Ribellaro.I will have to give you some clues.
3.I thought this was easy but read it again,the first word in Q4 is another clue. 5.Substitute Le Blaireau for cannibal. 6.The port is Sandemans. 9.Concentrate on the second word and dont always think of your gut. Thats enough to keep you going,again apologies if i have overdone it. |

9. Lord Lucan?
|
|
By:
Both wrong i am afraid.9 You dont eat these chips,he himself was a bookmaker in the seventies,his brother still is.

|
By:
9 liam flood
|
|
By:
Well done observerirl...The chips in this clue were poker chips and Liam Food is always referred to as gentleman Liam Flood on the televised poker tournaments.
|
|
By:
Another clue for Q5...The Cannibal and Le Blaireau are the nicknames of two sportsmen.
|
|
By:
Another clue for Q4 the Tremeloes big hit of the sixties is relevant to the first part of this clue.
Am heading into town wont be back til around four so when i dont reply you know the reason. |

4, Golden Miller?
|
|
By:
5 Shane Kelly
|
|
By:
Ribellaro both right
4.Golden Miller...Silence is golden....a lapdog in cryptic terms is a greyhound and probably the most famous greyhound of all..Mick The Miller. 6.The Sandemans Port ad was find the Don as in a Spanish gentleman with a black cape,someone who holds auditions does the casting hence Doncaster. |
|
By:
8. Imperial Call?
|
|
By:
OnehundredK..You have picked up the clue,Q5.answer is a horse now drop Shane from your answer and team up with Hinault you are almost there.
Imperial Call is wrong. |
