Could that be Beef or Salmon Workrider? thought Flambe was a cooking expression? In real danger of showing myself up on this thread.
Q21
Charlie Swan, Conor O Dwyer and Adrian Maguire. Jim Cullotty too??
Charlie Swan, Conor O Dwyer and Adrian Maguire. Jim Cullotty too??
Apologies for not replying sooner.
Q21 has posed problems because it was so badly worded.
Callitasucit is correct as is The Gotchee what I should have stated was they are related,points still allocated but the revised question is what three related current trainers rode in the same Champion Hurdle.
Well done Workrider,ginger is correct all words can have ginger put before them.
I thought no one would get question 6 until question 5 was answered but The Gotchee managed it,Down Royal is the most northerly racecourse in Ireland.
Oisin Murphy is correct,its an anagram and he is from Killarney.
Q9. Is similar another anagram and again Snaafi Dancer is correct Conor ODwyer correct the rider of Imperial Call.
Q17.Pa Lapsy is correct the answer is Beef Or Salmon,he correctly states he never one outside of Ireland another anagram.
Q20. The Gotchee got this one,the Scott Walker song is Joanna and the sports car is a Morgan.
Most of the clues are cryptic and lots of anagrams including two in the one question.

Well done Pa Lapsy a second correct answer and once again an anagram.
I always like to put up a pattern,the odd numbered early clues are anagrams,I had to rush it a bit so that fell by the wayside when we got into double figures.

I can't see how the Black cats would fit the answer so Roker Park?
This city is a shambles and there are black cats in the windows of the older buildings.
Were any of mine right.....I was certain Noel Meade was correct......
No close with a few but the mug trainer question is an anagram and a trainer from my era who managed to lose the sweep.
I'm going to guess Gay or Gay something is one of the answers Q1 to Q221, I have noticed in your quizzes one of the answers always has the word Gay in it, you seem to have a fetish for putting a question in with a homoerotic answer attached to it. I'm pretty sure it is your way of telling us something.
You are only remembering a previous quiz question with a Grand National theme that was put in to include you.
The question then was. Q. An outing for Rocketfingers.
A. Gay Trip the 1970 Grand National winner.
Your guess is wrong,you still haven't grasped the concept of these quizzes but at least you have shown you can remember the odd thing,it must have really hurt you.

Sorry no real interest in your quizzes and no offence intended, but i have noticed the homoerotic theme. I hope you got some of your Germany money with my goal bet btw.
When you are obsessed with something you will see it everywhere even in a harmless little quiz.
I thought the Germans won.

Questions 1,4,5,6,7,9,15,17,19 and 20 have been answered
Q15 was answered by DJ876,I slept for it and yes yet another anagram.
Q2.He felt her shorthand.
This refers to an incident between a trainer and a jockey twenty odd years ago
The reason the word shorthand appears there is the trainers name is also the most common type of shorthand.
The trainer struck this jockey outside the weigh room,the jockey has since switched codes as a trainer.
Q3.Short race for an urn winning cart horse.
This is a double anagram,if you jumble up the letters of the first two words you will get the name of a horse who won an urn or vase this year.
Similarly if you jumble up the last two words you will again get the name of that horse.
Q10.Latest.
This is a straight forward clue refers to a top hurdler of today.
Q11.Cigarette a red menace.
The answer is an Irish trainer,split the clue the first word refers to his Christian name,the last two words refer to a ring legend.

Short race anagram of Orchestra.
Cart horse another anagram of Orchestra.
Orchestra won the Chester Vase this year as well as finishing a reluctant looking third in the Irish Derby.
Cart horse another anagram of Orchestra.

Two more correct answers for DJ876.
Jenny Pitman slapped Jamie Osborne across the face I think because she blamed him for some instance in a race with her son Mark.
Frank The Tank correctly identifies the three related current trainers who rode in the same Champion Hurdle,they were
Tony Mullins Tom Mullins and Willie Mullins.
He then goes on to nominate Eddie Lynam who although a noted smoker is not the right answer,think of a rhyming slang word for cigarette that refers to another jockey.

Three more correct answers.
Q11.Cigarette a red menace.
Rhyming slang for cigarettes years ago was Harry Wraggs giving you Harry,the bookmaker Terry Rogers was known as the red menace.
So Harry Rogers.
Q14.Where you find Sunderland supporters.
York is the correct answer,Sunderland are nicknamed the black cats,York famously has statues of black cats all over the city.
As an aside I would recommend anyone to go racing in York, its a great place to bring your wife also as there is so much to see there.
Q18.Bradman duck is mute for old English trainer in Ireland.
While Bradman was bowled for a duck in his final innings that was a bit of a McGuffin,its what can go before Bradman and duck that counts.
That gives us Donald,mute is the most common swan in Ireland.
This is turning into some contest,will return with scores.

The last question is a sequence and its in historical order.
Chronological order a better way of putting it.
Value of a golfer would say to me "handicap/er", M.Prescott/Martin would be the first names on that line,probably wrong.
welldone to Wildman..but welldone to all who got them right..
The answer is an English trainer who trained a famous grey.
The first part of his second name is the same as a South African golfer,the second part of his name is another word for value.

The colours could be for a retained jockey, but must be over a long time span.

Number 8 is the trainer of In The Groove and the golfer also peered through keyholes.
Q13.Twist the capp.
Oliver Twist and Andy Capp give you Andy Oliver.
Royal Academy correct.
The South African golfer is still playing but is now a dodgy putter.

Another correct answer from Royal Academy.

The questions were deliberately hard because of the high standard here,not alone must the participants have a good knowledge of racing but they must have cryptic minds.
