Correctamundo… I was there and it was a very foggy day in LA. He went out to do his last piece of work and didn’t come back as normal. Instead with saw Kevin Bradshaw leading him home and we had to hold an impromptu press conference on the stairs of my office where Anthony Stroud (then racing manager) could announce his retirement etc.
Over to you Aaron..
I have a feeling Aaronizneez has gone to the North Pole for the New Year on a igloo holiday.
Blackbeard to conquer the World
This place has gone down the pan.
Haven’t popped ( pooped?) in here for quite some time, so a belated happy new year to everyone.
So, would the answer to
"Which 19th Century inventor has won a couple of races at Cheltenham this season
?" be
Thomas Crapper
?
Oh dear, wasn’t aware that one had to put up a question if successful.
Okay then, a mix of music and horseracing.
The Rolling Stones song that references a specific horserace.
Song title and name of race, please.Thanks Hoofhearted – that was a very entertaining question.
In the last 20 years there have been 3 British classic winners "Bred in the Purple" ie by a classic winner out of a classic winner. Can you name them?
I will give it a little while longer. One won the Derby and two won recent runnings of the St Leger..
I don’t think it’s the answer but it made me think what a beautifully bred stallion
Darshaan was by Shirley Heights (Mill Reef).
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Yes to Sixties Icon (Galileo/Love Divine) and yes to Lammtarra (Nijinsky/Snow Bride – the latter on disqualification).
Getting the other St Leger winner wins the prize. Here is a hint – his parents didn’t win British classics..
This is just the sort of question where I could embarrass myself. Having only recently found this thread, I have not looked through all 56 pages to see if my question has been asked before. It could be that it is so well known that people will say: “Not that one again, is his imagination so bare?” Alternatively, the response might be: “Is he asking about something that happened in the eighteenth century?”.
Which horse won a hurdle race, then a steeplechase, then a flat race on three consecutive racing days? All of the races took place in England, and there were no interruptions to the sequence caused by bad weather, or ground conditions, or diseases like Foot and Mouth.
The horse’s name is only one word, but that one word is made up of two perfectly normal other words. Both of those words are in this post.
You will not find the answer in the Racing Post results archive, but it happened well within my lifetime.
