Sunday quiz :-)

[Burroughhill]

When was the last time we had a quiz in the chat room, and can we have one again please ? <!– s:-) –><!– s:-) –> They’re always fun despite the fact that one point is my all time highest total <!– s:? –><!– s:? –>
What about it Corm old buddy, old pal?

[lollys mate]

Yeah!!!!

BH – you sweet talk me into it every time.

Let’s go for a quiz Sunday 22nd. 8.30 pm. I’ll do the Q’s.

Topics –

This jumping season
Racecourses
Record breakers

10 questions in each section.

There – how’s that?

[graysonscolumn]

BH – myself and Happy Jack did a couple in quick succession last year, but the last of those must have been all of 11 or so months ago. I think Zome still owes us one as well. Workload alone is stopping me from compiling another just now!

How does the Chat Room work?

[Grasshopper]

Intermittently!

I keep getting "connection failed – server must be down" when I try to log-in to Chat

I am feeling lucky too

I’m not following the thread’s current train of thought, but I don’t care.

My favourite trivia question:

Where did Lanfranco Dettori ride his first European Classic race?

[Gerald]

Complete and utter guesses. I’m being greedy and having two. Austria or Turkey.

[MDeering]

Nope.

That’s stretching the "think outside the box" notion, don’t you think?

[Gerald]

Austria is next door to Italy.

It wouldn’t be Scotland would it? The old Scottish Classic, or whatever it was called.

[MDeering]

The Scottish Derby? I don’t think that’s recognised as a European Classic, considering it was for 3YO+ – can someone clarify?

[Gerald]

Damn

I’ve only just noticed the question says where, and not which country.

Bit blurry, memory-wise – don’t even know which decade this happened.

The year the Portland got cancelled because of holes in the track.

Was the St Leger moved to Haydock, or somewhere like that?

[MDeering]

Hey – I’m asking the questions!

[Ugly Mare]

Cappanelle Rome, 1990
Legal Case – Premio Roma.

that was his first winner according to Wikipedia,
but that doesn’t quite answer your question I don’t think

Nearly there Gerald! I believe it was the rearranged St Leger won by Michelozzo at Ayr.

[Gerald]

I should have worked out it was Ayr and not Haydock.

The Ayr Gold Cup is 10 days after the Portland, and the Vernons Sprint Cup is 11 days before.
