I don’t know but at a guess all three winners have not won since.

I am only going on the Albert Bartlett winner Martello Tower

Nice try but no.

Clue: It’s not specific to the 2015/6 season, just a fact that holds true up to that point.

Ghost – I’m curious to know whether or not the answer concerns itself with racehorse fatalities either on or off the track.

Is it to do with horses having one the other two and dying in the Fighting Fifth?

Nothing so morbid!

It’s nothing to do with horses at all…

This is a head scratcher …

My best guess is British Grade 1 hurdle races on a LH track that have not. so far, been won by WP Mullins!!

Very very close! The handedness of the track isn’t relevant, and it’s not the trainer but…

You’re both right that they all haven’t been won by the same person. Just not got the right person yet.

It’s not a trainer.

I do believe is one Ruby Walsh? Grade 1 hurdles he hasn’t won yet.

That’s it, TO. They’re actually the only Grade 1 British NH races that Ruby hasn’t won (yet).

Oh dear, my turn again …

Try this: name the connections (three) between two brothers that won a host of Group 1s in continental Europe in the early 1980s and a Grade 1 winner over hurdles in the 1990s. & what is the link to today?

Are we talking human brothers or equine brothers?

Or is that too much of a clue?

It’s a clue – the brothers had eight legs between them!

I’m pretty confident I have the two brothers… I suspect they are Glint of Gold and Diamond Shoal, both by Mill Reef out of Crown Treasure (Graustark).

Not sure about the connection with the hurdler or today (unless it’s that Mill Reef won the Eclipse Stakes in 1971)?

You are close St Nic!

You have the brothers, and you have the link to today (Eclipse day; an Eclipse winner) – but you need the hurdler, and the connections are not the two brothers!
