All the answers are horses,each clue has at least two connecting answers

Are all these winners of the arc Wildman?

No not an Arc winner there,the questions are stand alone it's just the answers are in connected pairs and in some cases there are three answers.

Not overly sure how close connections are supposed to be in this.

6. I am assuming this is Robocco and Robero.
16. I saw a few answers for this in another quiz where one differed from yours so I am assuming this is On the House and Rock of Gibraltar?
7. Is this Hilly Way and Azertyuiop/Master Minded?

Jet Ski Lady, St Jovite. 13,14

10. Ben Nevis and Foinaven.

14. Was originally thinking For Auction and Beech Road but I am guessing this would be too far back and Beech Road was 50/1 so that blows it out anyway. Is this the right line to be taking?

You have a good memory Bassanio and have got four right.
I thought Q7 was one of the hard ones,the Cat Stevens song was Father and Son the jockeys were Ted and Ruby Walsh the horses named by Bassanio were the ones they rode to victory in the Two Mile Champion Chase.
Joe Value there are two connecting answers to each question,you seem to have done what happens regularly on these quizzes come up with a better answer than mine.

24 Opera House Kings Theatre

11. The Flying Dutchman and Flying Fox

Another correct answer for Know Won Nose.
Soldieroffortune has done what now is the norm come up with two correct answers although not in my three.

Have neglected this a bit but might be all for the best as the people who do well in these things tend to work and be away during the day.

Q2-trabolgan and kildimo

Two correct answers for Shotgun Willy,Killiney and Kildimo were my two but ye have managed to find three others.
Q7 was first answered yet I thought it hard,Q13 seemed to me the easiest yet seems to have the forum stumped.

q13 troy/zagreb

troy a city?

q.1. harvester/st.gatien.

q.30. george washington/ alfred nobel.

maybe troy not a city anymore to be honest. not much of it left now, bit like the horse at this stage. stones and bones.

Troy a most famous city,cause of the expression beware of Greeks bearing gifts with the famous wooden horse.
Four correct answers from Oufies Pal,Q1 is wrong but maybe you can give me a reason for your answer.

1. Roberto / The Minstrel

That's a heck of a good answer,I am presuming you think they were standing at the same stud in America,I know they both stood in Kentucky but not sure where.
It's not my answer which is geographical but could be correct also.

harvester/ st gatien dead heated in derby of 1884.stupid answer i suppose but finished side by side that time anyway.

Not a stupid answer at all and definitely worthy of two points.
My questions are too ambiguous and a lot of them have multiple answers although I like my own answer to Q1

sailing guineas winners
henrythenavigator  and roderigo de triano

Well done Snaafi Dancer,two correct answers.

That was where I was coming from wildman but I rushed the answer and one was at Darby Dan and the other at Overbrook.

q.20. run for paddy/ run for free.

q26 distant view

q22 the chair?maybe not?!

I assume the other one kavvie is Distant Relative?

12. Are the Oaks winners Snow Fairy and Snow Bride (not a winner)?

Well done Kavvie for cracking one of the hardest.
Bassanio is correct in his Oaks winners and Snow Bride is a winner albeit it took the disqualification of Aliysa

Q14.Forty connects two Champion Hurdle winners
These are recent winners and think of anniversaries for the cryptic part of the clue.
Q22.Where most of us grew up in Aintree
Not a good clue but these are two Grand National winners that are connected by their sire,the leading sire before Vulgan.

I assume then that Ruby is the connection and it is Hurricane Fly and Rock on Ruby.

I don't deserve anything for that as was nowhere near it until that clue was given.

I was off down the road of Hardy Eustace and Hors La Loi thinking that Dean Gallagher and Conor O'Dwyer might now be 40 but that was wrong.

They are both by the same sire?

I know that Rag Trade and Hallo Dandy were by the same sire but that is after Vulgan.

Cottage sired a few winners but the names escape me and I am not resorting to looking them up.

q.21. the minsrtel/ dr. devious.?

You have it cracked Oufies Pal.
The Run For The Roses is the nickname of the Kentucky Derby,the original is the Epsom Derby so the answers are Derby winners,the floral connection is they are flower names.
Bassanio is a short head away from answering Q22.
Q25.These two revolutionaries fought out some Newbury finish.
The key word here is revolutionary,it can mean something that is turning but in this case it means rebellion.

14 Persian War Katchit Triumph hurdle winners who followed up in the Champion.

That question already answered by Bassanio.
Q25.What colour is associated with revolution,what big race is run at Newbury.

red rum and red candle...

q.26. distant view/ distant relative.

Red is the colour of a revolutionary and the great Newbury finish was fought between Red Rum and Red Candle.
Well done Workrider you never let me down,I don't think I have ever posted one of these quizzes without you weighing in with at least one correct answer,I wouldn't be surprised if you were there that day.

Q1.Side by side Derby winners
The answers are geographical
Q22.We have already established that the answers are Epsom Derby winners that are named after flowers,sorry this clue is for Q21.
Q22. Again.We have already established that these are Grand National winners by the same sire who was champion before Vulgan
Q28.These two are Grand National winners and place names in Ireland they date back a good bit
Q29.The bet 365 Gold Cup used to be the Whitbread so the connection is alcohol,three Dubois answers
Q30.Men of my vintage will remember the ads of the sixties and the one for the bright beer was for Phoenix ale,that is the race,the two horses were trained by Aidan OBrien.

For Dubois read dubious.

1. Parthia and Troy?

29. I am thinking Hennessy is one of them. Possibly Call it a Day could be very loosely conected.

Please tell me the 3rd is not Life of a Lord?

Hennessey is correct,the other two are wrong
Another clue for Q1 is.      From Ibiza to the ...........  ........... A line from an early seventies pop song

Bowie fan?

Not really but you have cracked it.

I have not cracked it. I just love Bowie tunes and knew the lyrics that you started there.

I can only think of Galileo and Sea the Stars but it does not seem right to me.

Fill in the missing first word and tis there you will find the Derby winners.

its on the tip of my tongue

q 30 alfred nobel/ george washington.

Q1. Blakeney and Morston.

Four more correct answers and finally we have got Q1 out of the way,so well done to the mercurial Icchantika.
Blakeney and Morston are two villages beside each other in North Norfolk,also the names of two Derby winners out of the mare Windmill Girl and were bred owned and trained by Arthur Budgett.
