Which high quality hurdler of the 1970’s, started life out with a placed run at Lingfield as a 2 year old when trained by Tom Waugh, before breaking his maiden the following spring at the Craven meeting ridden by Tony Murray?

[yeats]

This horse was placed in a Champion Hurdle and his owner had winners of classic races.

I was holding off to give someone else a chance.

Beacon Light?

Looked for pictures in Thoroughbred Bloodlines (bloodlines.net) and up came Nimbus (Nearco) 2000 Guineas and Derby winner, family No 6, 3/4 parts brother to successful Sire Grey Sovereign (Nasrullah by Nearco).
Thanks for the Net, when one doesn’t have the books.

Yes you are correct. Never seen that site so I will have a look, this image is from an old British Thoroughbred periodical.
Over to you…..

Here it goes.
Harbour Dues (Slip Anchor) won this race with the Queen’s Arabian Story (Sharrood) runner up. Lester Piggot won the race twice, on different horses. Name the race and Lesters two winners.

Clue?
One of Lester winners was the maternal sire of Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Denman. The 1977 winner was runner up the following year.

Slowly getting there, Kentucky Spring. The race was the Dansk Eclipse in Lester’s day but had been renamed the Scandinavian Open Championship by the time Harbour Dues won it. One of Piggott’s winners was Pollerton; still researching the other one.

In Lesters days it was the two first Scandinavian Open Championships. The Economy stopped the race and in the mid eighties the Danish Eclipse Stks. was introduced…You are getting there!
