The hairstyle of the guy holding the horse looks like it might be an Elvis-type quiff that has flopped over his forehead following a sudden gust of wind.

Hairstyles of this type were popular amongst young men in the late 1950s and the early 1960s, and I’m wondering if I’m in the right area, time-wise, for both man and horse.

Not Petite Etoile. This is a colt.

Ooh wait wait is it Sovereign Path? I thought he was born in the forties/fifties but I was confusing him with his sire Grey Sovereign.

Yes well done St Nicholas Abbey, this is Sovereign Path. A big winner in 1959-60 and a successful stallion. He was by Grey Sovereign out of Mountain Path by Bobsleigh. He won the Lockinge Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
Thought someone might have recognised Ron Mason’s stables.

In all honesty I’ve never seen a photo of him before – nice looking horse!

Okay, nice easy one.

What links Seabiscuit with an English Classic winner from the 1960s?

Same name sire – Hard Tack. The English Classic winner is Right Tack (Hard Tack x Polly Macaw). RT won the English & Irish 2000, plus the SJP – and was the sire of Mofida.

Ooooh, asking these is harder than answering them!

Try this: where and when did Forpadydeplasterer beat Imperial Commander?

Aww, I’m useless at NH as I don’t follow it; I’ll await the better informed. :)

I find it much easier to answer than to ask!

What do the Fighting Fifth hurdle at Newcastle, the Albert Bartlett (Spa) novices’ hurdle at Cheltenham and the Future Champions Finale juvenile hurdle at Chepstow have in common, as of the end of the 2015/6 NH season?
