    Well done, both ;-)
    Maybe the two of you could ask a question each, to get this Q&A a little into rythm?

    TRAINERS SEAT(IRE) (by Tamerlane) br. H, 1973
    Owner: Mona Nilsson, Sweden
    Breeder: Asigh Fram ltd
    Winnings: 19 Starts: 10 – 3 – 1, SEK 440,768
    Winner of the Norwegian Triple Crown (Ovrevoll Racecourse, Norway) and the first Scandinavian Open Championship (Copenhagen Racecourse, Denmark)

    POLLERTON(GB) (by Rarity) b. H, 1974
    Winnings: 15 Starts: 5 – ? – ?, $58,637
    1st Princess of Wales’ S. (GB-G2), Gordon S. (GB-G3)
    Dam Sire of Denman.

    Lester Piggot rode Trainer’s Seat to win the first year and then recommended Pollerton to come the following year and in a thrilling finish beating the previous years winner by a narrow margin.

    Which Gold Cup winning owner once told A P McCoy “you’ll never ride for me again”

    Jonjo O’Neill told the hordes of waiting media-type people, ‘After that effort, he’ll never ride for me again’, following McCoy’s unsuccessful effort on Box Office, the final ride of his professional career.

    However, O’Neill never owned a Gold Cup winner, so I’m willing to believe that Jonjo overheard JP McManus tell McCoy, ‘You’ll never ride for me again’, and JP is therefore my answer.

    It’s wrong, isn’t it?
