Giant Strides,,You are probably right but not the one i had in mind,mine a filly trained by Seamus McGrath.
No but i am sure you and Satellite Flight have driven along here.
Well done Baggers...Noel = Christmas...Meade = Honey wine.
Workrider...Go out the Foxrock entrance by the old railway station
Workrider...Go out the Foxrock entrance by the old railway station
Workrider...Your answer to 11 is better than mine but 11 is a jockey also known as Togo.
I couldn`t find any record of Ballyogans wins so `twas just a guess because of the area in Foxrock.
Lads ye will have to stop coming up with answers that are better than the originals.
15 is Noel Meade...there is a recent Cheltenham winner in there and two of the clues have the same answer.
Shark Hanlon and Seamus McGrath would have had little in common except for this horse.
Second correct answer Ribellaro Q5 Red Rum....invert the killer...murder...turn it round.
Workrider the answers to 3 and 19 are the same two different horses of the same name,one trained by the Shark the other by Seamus McGrath.
Ribellaro both correct 16. Corbiere a group of wines from the Narbonne area of France.
18.In the book The Great Gatsby Gatsbys first name was Jay and a trump is usually a good card.

Two correct for Downallstar Q3 Mart Lane also the answer to Q19 Mart Lane.
Q11..The Crocodile...Nickname of famous Australian jockey based in France was also known as Togo after the Japanese naval Admiral.
Two also correct for Workrider after a stewards inquiry, his answer to Q3 Killiney is also correct although not the one i had in mind.His answer to Q11 Nick Dundee also correct but again not the one i had in mind.
On a sadder note was told of the death of Paul Farrell at Thurles i remember him as the tic tac man at Leopardstown,The Curragh and Galway but was more famous at Shelbourne Park so would be known by Satellite Flight and Workrider.

Q17.Film dog...Papillon Grand National winner 2000 alse early seventies film and a breed of dog.
I tried a little experiment and to put it mildly it didnt work,i wont explain but suffice to say the inevitable happened,it reflects more on me than anybody else so apologies all round.
Experiment over,back up and running.Four questions to go but first current scores
Ribelaro.11.
Workrider.3.
Downallstar.2.
Anywherebutcheltenham.1.
Baggers.1.
Four left 2 chasers 1 flat horse and 1 jockey and now a few clues.
Q8.Wicked colour.
Q9.Crabs mot is black.
Q12.Western Cannons.
Q20.Cymro XL.
The four answers are cryptic with Q8 and Q12 concentrate on the first word.Q9 Crab can be spelt Crabbe and Q20 concentrate on the second part of the clue.

Will try a few more clues Q20 Cymro XL. What does XL mean maybe Roman numerals if so 40 and we know Cymro means Welshman take it from there.
Not bad but this one is a jockey ask your wife about anniversaries.
Well done Kalanisi...Ruby Walsh correct.
Cymro is Welshman and the name Walsh in Irish means Welshman indeed where i come from lots of people call him Ruby Welsh and in the west of Ireland they all pronounce it Welsh.XL is 40 in Roman numerals and a fortieth anniversary is a Ruby.
Now for Q8 you are pronouncing wicked with 2 syllables try doing it with 1 syllable and you might find a chaser of the seventies.

Q9.Crabs mot is black....Crab can be spelt Crabbe giving you Buster Crabbe.He was a swimmer and an actor in the thirties famous for playing a particular role...Mot old Dublin expression for a girlfriend...Hope this helps you find Irish Grand National winner.
Thats a definite dead heat both of you came in at the exact same time so well done Kalanisi and Giant Strides.
Buster Crabbe was one of the first actors to play Tarzan...Tarzans mot = Jane...Piano keys white ones ivory,black ones ebony.
Q17.Western Cannons...Western normally means direction but it has another meaning in films and T.V. We are looking for a recent Ballydoyle great.

Well done again Kalanisi...Western Cannons....High Chapparal was a seventies T.V.programme a western revolving around the Cannon family also an Epsom Derby winner and dual breeders cup winner.
Lets wrap this up only one to go...Wicked colour....We have established the first word has 1 syllable the second word is just a colour.When you add ed to a word it denotes past tense so it could be superfluous.He is a chaser of the early seventies famous for one spectacular finish in a premier handicap.

No not that fine old chaser,this fellow never ran in the Grand National but he has an association with an Aintree great and same colour.

Again well done Kalanisi....Q8.Wicked colour....wicked pronounced with one syllable means something you put a wick in = candle...Hence Red Candle 1973 Hennessey winner beating no less than Red Rum in a thrilling finish.
FINAL SCORES.
Ribellaro.11
Kalanisi.4
Workrider.3
Downallstar.2
Giant Strides.1
Anywherebutcheltenham.1
Baggers.1
Ribellaro is the Arkle of the quiz world cryptic or otherwise.you will notice he is lambasting them all on the British forum as well look how far clear he is on the Cheltenham quiz.
Kalanisi you were noted ambling along at the back of the field,dare i say not trying,but you ran on impressively to finish a never nearer second.Unfortunately the stewards have taken a dim view of your performance there is talk of a 42 day ban with fine to follow.
