Trained a horse called Keelby Kavalier, I recall, who was my first winner as a pre-pubescent punter, although I’ve spent most of my adult life believing the horse was with Jimmy Fitzgerald, for whom this person would surely have worked. Am I warm?

Have no fear, Rory’s here!

Your hot and as you never used one of the many results books you own to look it up I’ll give you it before someone else does.
It was Mick Lambert who was Jimmy’s head lad before working with Easterby as a traveling head lad.
Keelby was one of my favourite horse and brings back fond memories to me also…I had one of my biggest ever bets on him at Ayr when Tony Charlton rode him carrying top weight around 12st 7lbs or something close to that. I was on with Alex Farquar/Macbet an hour before the first at the forecast price of 11/4. By memory I think Alex opened him up at 6/4 and still made money out of the race Tony reckoned he was all class and convinced Mick he was good enough to run in the Supreme Novices where he finished an excellent 2nd to the brilliant Browne’s Gazette….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moPVCAT4xlQ
Don’t be making your question too hard we are after all, unlike you, mere mortals

Which Japanese twins of the nineties managed to run into a place in the same classic?
September 17, 2012 at 09:32 #413496Japanese twins Airi & Meiri were placed in a few classic pornos does that count?

In order to "run into a place", it seems we must be talking about horses rather than jockeys or trainers, but since twin thoroughbreds are a rare commodity (and tend to produce one or 2 underdeveloped foals when not ending in abortion), it’s unlikely to mean "twins" in the traditional sense. I would suggest that the answer is 2 horses in different years each bearing the word "Twin" in their name.
How’s my logic so far?

Classic? Pfft! Those two aren’t even fit to fluff.

Thoroughbreds. To be honest, I’ve not seen it verified that these two are actually twins. However, they both came from the same dam, by the same sire and ran in the same three year old race as one another. If they’re not twins then it’s still something quite remarkable. If they are twins then it is so statistically astonishing that it’s bizarre that it’s not widely known.
September 18, 2012 at 12:57 #413590I’m stumped then – there was a case in the states of a pair of twins racing against each other, but it was at a very lowly level, and was considered such a novelty that it made national press there.
September 18, 2012 at 13:27 #413591Their not twins then, they are siblings.

If it was the same race, in the same year, then they’d have to be twins. I suspect there’s more to this than meets the eye.
September 18, 2012 at 17:42 #413601Is one a clone?

At most, it would be a clerical error on the part of racingpost.com.
Is one a clone?
Not as far as I can make out.
September 20, 2012 at 16:03 #413779I’ll leave this question open for one more day. If it isn’t answered then I’ll just ask a much simpler one instead.
September 21, 2012 at 06:14 #413826It has never happened I called my Aussie friend lived in Japan for 22 years and follows Japanese racing and he immediately said no way. That would have been massive news in Japan especially as the sire in question turned out to be Sunday silence and he’s been the top sire more times than you’ve had hot dinners (his words not mines)
He has every result that ever was and he kindly compared them to uk info and said he found the error and we got it wrong
Fusaiki Airdale or whatever it’s called is out of Russtic Belle not whatever horse we have it down as. Cant remember the rest we were talking on Skype.
Not your fault mate but how on earth and where did ya dig that one out.
Here’s my Question, Which Thai filly on Sunday was beat a head by the horse she beat a head the Sunday before. All you need to do to find the answer is learn to read Thai as results are not available in English so I expect an answer in about 12 years
Just joking not your fault mate so only right you get to ask another question…go for it!
September 21, 2012 at 11:44 #413856That’s absolutely bang on. I was looking at Orfevre’s form, one thing led to another (as it does) and I was looking at To The Victory’s breeding.
Your friend’s probably right as I tend to have lukewarm dinners rather than hot ones!
Cheers for clearing that up with some impressive groundwork. If nothing else, it’s unearthed some interesting trivia!
OK. For those not mad keen on the idea of learning Thai;-
Carl Llewellyn won his Grand Nationals on two broken legs. Whose broken legs were they?
