Reviewed the answers and found dj876 answer of Lavandin to Q11 was correct also.
Monte Christo answered Q4 with Fortina who won the Gold Cup in 1947 and sired the 1968 winner Fort Leney,a brilliant answer so deserving of a bonus point. Scores dj876 5 Monte Christo 4 Distant View 3 Catchmeifyoucan 3 |

23.ardross??

24-I think catch me if u can is correct,Harry Baker?
|
|
By:
Sunstar is also a flower wildman. The scoring does not matter much though. I am just interested in finding another one or 2.
|
|
By:
Incredible stuff on Fortina. The last thing I would expect is that a Gold Cup winner would be a sire.
|
|
By:
Ardross a great battler but not the answer.
I have no idea who Harry Baker is,definitely not the answer but could you explain. I broke the cardinal rule with Q11 as there is more than one answer. Fortina was a top sire,he also sired Fortria amongst many others |

By:
If it was a battle rather than battler that won the Gallinule, then it would be the Vincent O'Brien trained Inkerman?
|
|
By:
Well done Distant View.Inkerman a famous battle in the Crimean war and a Gallinule winner and as you correctly say trained by Vincent O`Brien.
I didn`t realise Sunstar was a flower but accept your word for it,you are now joint leader. |

6. Rock of Gibraltar?
|
|
By:
Apparently in 1893
Jockey Harry Barker recorded the amazing feat of finishing second in both the Grand National and the Derby. He rode Aesop at Aintree and Ravensbury at Epsom Downs. |
|
By:
No,i thought this was the easiest question in the quiz but then i thought Q12 was the hardest.
Thank you dj876 not as amazing as you think as there were many jockeys who rode under both rules down the years,however this is a horse with a name meaning the same thing. |
|
By:
Ok I was thinking of the Rock as Fergie got him free of charge. Time to think again.
|
|
By:
That is badly worded,two different horses,we might need Anaglogs Daughter to help us out.
Rock Of Gibralter a great answer all the same. |
|
By:
Rock of gibraltar a superb answer considering he ran in his colours-That race still gives me nightmares with Mr.Spencer(tho with hindsight).

Will revisit in one hour.

Assume it is wrong but thought The Great Gatsby (won a few academy awards) and Oscar Time was an interesting link.

Q24. Fame & Glory AND Superior Glory.

16. Donovan?

|
|
By:
The Scottish folk singer Donovans first hit was Catch The Wind,Donovan won the Derby in the eighteen eighties.
The key to question 24 is Anaglogs Daughter |

The poster not the horse

How many do we still need to answer now folks ? |

Q6. Scot Free
|
|
By:
Questions 1,6,7,8,13,15,17,19,21,22 and 24 unanswered.
Distant View has caused problems with Q6 as his answer is far better than mine....again. |

That lighthouse is bugging me
|
|
By:
My guess at that is Meydan?
There are 2 racecourses and this may be one of them? |

By:
15. Meydan?
