Again flawed thinking from me.
The Lighthouse was a skyscraper that was due to be built in the Dubai Marina but the plans were shelved. Around the same time the Meydan City project with a marina and a racecourse was given the go ahead. Back to square one again!. |

By:
Alamshar did win the Derrinstown. The Aga Khan super yacht "Alamshar" was ridiculed as being a carthorse due to the speed levels that it could achieve.

The tough quiz turned out too tough as five left unanswered.
Q7 The Clapton is Eric Clapton and the answer is an English trainer also an anagram. Q13 A simple anagram Q19 Another anagram Q22 Yet another anagram Q24 Two different horses named after the same feature in the wee county An interesting aside to this question was the answer Harry Barker who apparently was runner up in both races as a jockey in the 1890s but much more recently the great Willie Robinson was second in the 1958 Derby on Paddys Point and won the 1964 Grand National on Team Spirit. The World Hurdle is the connection between 13 and 19. |

Q22 Orchestra which was trained by John Oxx Snr.
|
|
By:
Well done Monte Christo,carthorse is an anagram of Orchestra,he won the Gold Flake Stakes as it then was in the mid seventies.
Now for questions 13 and 19,the stayers hurdle at Cheltenham connects them. Q13 is a trainer Q19 is a horse |
