Two right for Cupwinkcook including the hardest of them all.
Three right for Stamford Bridge,the greyhound is wrong but now we know why your name was uttered in such hushed tones. |

Thought there was two dogs mentioned in THe Who's Song Dogs YELLOW PRINTER+CAMIRA FLASH..Love that song ...timeless band THE WHO...
My niece loves them..they stole the show in Glastonbury last year I think ! |

By:
A great song and a great group alright,the famous dog Yellow Printer was the one mentioned.I must listen to the song again to see if there is a mention of Camira Flash unfortunately there are no bonus points.

Yeah should have cottoned on to that wonder dog YELLOW PRINTER who won the Irish derby Irish Derby in the 60s (before my time) I remember an old time punter in Shelbourne Park telling me he was the fastest dog he'd ever seen+ think he was the first greyhound to break 29sec for 525yds at the Dublin track ....

Q 11 (WAR) about the legendary American Triple Crown winner "MAN O WAR" - I know I'm wrong but a good bluffers answer !!!
|
|
By:
I thought Yellow Printer was an English greyhound of that time,was at the White City when Camira Flash won the Derby.
The Boss song in question was not written by him and was sung by many. |
|
By:
He was trained during much of his career by Clapton trainer John Bassett but did indeed win the Irish derby of 1968-But returned to the UK in in 1969 and won the Sir Billy Butlin Stakes at White City + the Wood Lane
He also won the Summer Cup at Wembley+ the Pall Mall at Harringay He was elected Greyhound of the Year in 1969 and retired to stud to stand in Ireland at a fee of 75gns. |

Roy Wood was the song writer for the Birmingham pop group The Move.
The Wagner opera was involved in the best finish i have ever seen. Will revisit in the morning. |

Well done Workrider although i am surprised you were able to think straight considering events elsewhere,Rheingold correct.The race came to mind when i saw Ernie Johnson riding in the seniors race at Doncaster,he was a decent lightweight jockey who was shown up by Lester Piggott in that memorable finish.
Another correct answer from Cupwinkcook,Santa Clause correct although i like the thought process that arrived at the Sister Sledge song Frankie. Just questions 7,8 and 9 to go,current scores Stamford Bridge 5. Cupwinkcook 3. Yourlack 1. Workrider 1. |

Chingachgook i attributed your inspired answer to Q11 to Cupwinkcook,have it rectified now but if i ever do a musical quiz again thats Q1.

Mr McCann was a practical man...is the first line.
I used the word infamous when describing the trainer but he really is just a great gambler. |

By:
barney curly....how could i not have guessed....

|
By:
Considering a referee was throwing the championship wide open or else turning it into a handicap, easy to understand your state of mind.A second correct answer for Workrider.
