“Which UK racetrack sees the leader change more times in the final half furlong than any other track in the country?”
Lingfield Park, all weather track?
August 16, 2021 at 13:52 #1556885This is the answer I was looking for Cork and I’m certain it’s the correct one even though I have no stats to prove it.
August 16, 2021 at 13:57 #1556895You certainly see a lot of horses coming from well off the pace to get up inside the last 50 yards.
This one is probably too easy but which namesakes won The Derby and a race at the Cheltenham Festival the very next year?
August 16, 2021 at 14:18 #1556924Galileo.

August 16, 2021 at 15:53 #1556979Correct, TTC.
Galileo, a Polish St Leger winner, was trained by Tom George to win what is now the Ballymore.
August 16, 2021 at 16:20 #1556983In Frankels maiden, both him and Nathaniel were future G1 winners. Name the future G3 winner from the same maiden.

August 16, 2021 at 16:53 #1556987This is probably my hazy memory playing tricks, but didn’t Colour Vision (future Ascot Gold Cup winner) also run in that race? He would be a Group 1 winner though, so presumably not who you mean.
August 16, 2021 at 17:02 #1556988I think you’re right Marlingford. The G1 success came after the G3 win.
August 16, 2021 at 17:31 #1556992In a Captain Mainwairing voice “Well done Marlingford. I wondered who would spot that one.”

Oops I forgot Colour Vision! There wer indeed three G1 winners from the race. There is a other UK G3 winner however. Name him.
Apologies!

What was Triumph Hurdle winner Prince Charlemagne’s claim to fame?August 16, 2021 at 18:48 #1557004Yep. Some Maiden that.

August 16, 2021 at 19:00 #1557006Lester Piggott rode Prince Charlemagne to win the Triumph, back in the days when it was run at Hurst Park.
August 16, 2021 at 19:49 #1557012Haha Tatling, I had no idea on the correct answer to your question though!
I’d also like to know the answer to Yeats’ Magnet Cup question, which I don’t believe has been answered yet.
August 17, 2021 at 08:14 #1557052The answer to Yeats’ question is Eradicate.
August 17, 2021 at 11:08 #1557063Well Done Gladiateur.
August 17, 2021 at 15:39 #1557111Thanks, Yeats.
My question: only four horses ever finished in front of Shergar. Name them.
August 17, 2021 at 17:11 #1557116Beldale Flutter, Cut Above and Bustomi are three of them – the other would be the other one who finished ahead of him in the Leger but who I cannot recall without resorting to a form boom or video.
