It is a feature of every quiz i have put up that i get at least one answer that is better than mine.
Bassanio has come up with four correct answers although i had a different horse in mind for Q1,I remember Rite Of Passage winning his flat maiden in Ballinrobe his winners bumper in Naas but not sure but accept he won his bumper in Galway. |

The world is going to end,after months of trying and hours spent ringing around for help,Rocketfingers has eventually come up with a correct answer,what next Never Give Up will get one right surely not,although he holds the record for tome spent on a quiz thread he has yet to break his duck.
Anyone in the area of Dublin where Rocketfingers is be careful,look after your womenfolk flushed with this success he may try to break another duck of his. |

18- Paddy Sleator
|
|
By:
The great Paddy Sleator correct,Moneypenny it is nice to see you follow in the noble footsteps of Ribelaro,Guinness2dear and Workrider and refuse to pick the low lying fruit.
|
|
By:
What about my answer to Q19?
|
|
By:
Wonky couldn't pick his nose.....not to mind low lying fruit.....
|
|
By:
Puncheatown Pinch Hitter correct and your second correct answer.
Bobbybocala,Workrider has answered lots of questions on these quizzes down the days,when i first started them Ribelaro was in a class of his own and always ignored the easy questions,i put up a quiz on the main forum and both Guinness2dear and Workrider answered plenty of questions when i then put the same quiz up here they both ignored the questions they had already answered and went for others,decent people totally lacking in hubris. |

Q1 War of Attrition
|
|
By:
I hope not,that is not the one I had in mind Bassanios already come up with the Ascot Gold Cup winner Rite Of Passage.
|
|
By:
War of Attrition did not even compete in bumpers did he?
Not Mouse's style anyway. |
|
By:
15. Grey Swallow
|
|
By:
You're right Bassanio.
Head's not too good today.Bit of a rough night. |
|
By:
Wager slowly an anagram of Grey Swallow,this fellow is featured in the Racing Posts Memory Lane column today and yes it is still hard to credit that he was backed at 2/1 that day and started 11/8 second favourite.

By:
The only thing about that wildman was that he was racing a full brother to Rock of Gibraltar in the race who had shown promise on his debut.
We now know that all relations of The Rock were useless but it wasn't that apparent at the time. |
|
By:
I was there and didn't back him and as you say hindsight is a wonderful thing
I think I must be alone in not liking Line Drummers run in Tipperary so have been looking for an alternative and keep coming back to the David Wachman trained Seussical,am going today so will probably try a few sneaky each way bets on him,have a look at his Leopardstown run plenty of promise there. |
