2. Dylan Thomas
6. Shareef dancer (caerleon second) 10. El Gran Senor 14. salsabil 20. celtic swing |
|
By:
New and impressive runner.
Dylan Thomas correct as that line is a famous quote from the Welsh poet El Gran Señor correct as he was named in honour of Horstio Luro Celtic Swing correct that was the headline of the Racing Post when Celtic Swing ducked the Epsom Derby and went for the French equivalent( was a mile and a half race at the time ) Although Vincent OBrien trained many horses to be second the answer was not trained by him. Salsabil won the Epsom Oaks alright but her daddy was Saddlers Wells who has no connection with Q9. |

Sometimes taking a good long look in the mirror can be an unpleasant experience and change is the only way forward. |

q9- the line is from tale of two cities - Zagreb is one city not sure the other could also have been some link with Dickens Hill second to Troy?. Storm Birds dam is South Ocean so some connection with Cape Blanco?!
|
|
By:
Bluebird Q9
|
|
By:
You have cracked Q9.
Zagreb is correct The connection is Storm Bird. A Tale Of Two Cities now find the homonym. |
|
By:
Is clue 5, workrider, generously sycophantic in nature?
|
|
By:
Q5 is easy enough The Gotchee is close to the answer.
|
|
By:
Then it has to be George McGrath wildman?
