I really didn’t mean to kill the thread
I was hoping that Himself would throw another bone but since that hasn’t happened, here’s a simple one.
Who was the last horse to have won a jumps pattern race whilst carrying a jockey wearing hearts on his silks?
Hint 1) The last race this horse won is now an Irish Grade One
Hint 2) This horse appeared in the Grand National that never was
Hint 3) He was disqualified after finishing FPTP in a major handicap chase.Would that be the Mrs Miles Valentine owned Cahervillahow? 2nd in the "National that never was"?
Pink with red hearts.
The very same.
Won the then listed Punchestown Chase. Prior to that, he lost the Whitbread in the stewards room, missed out on the Irish National by the narrowest of margins, finished second at the Cheltenham festival despite blowing any realistic chance at the start and was twice placed in the English Hennessy as well as finishing runner up in the infamous National.
Then he lost his life at the tender age of ten. The poor soul.
Over to you…
Cheers BH
Will try and think of something over the next few days. Been working late tonight.
Sorry everyone, been struggling to think of a question that is either blindingly easy or easily googleable so I’m happy to open it up to the floor if anyone wants to go with their own starter for ten!
Cheers
SeanThat mighty Hungarian sprinter, Overdose, had his retirement party at Kincsem Park last September.
Immediately after the party, his little brother made a winning debut in an "Elit kat" race for 2yos (essentially their Middle Park) at the same track.
What is the little (half) brother’s name?
Pill Popper
I don’t know how they do it in Scouseland but normal people either chase that dragon or shoot it straight up.
Opium Bullet?
The wonderfully named "Opium Bullet".
Little bastard also managed to win on his reappearance in Bratislava a couple of weeks ago…

Over to you, Adrian.
Which racecourse has three bars named after horses whose biggest wins were:
1. The Hardwicke Stakes
2. The St Leger
3. The Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare TurfA further hint – the two colts won Group 3s at the track whilst the filly won a Listed race there.
The three winners were trained by Sir Michael Stoute, Mark Tompkins and Sir Henry Cecil..
Ok the racecourse has bars named after Rock Hopper, Bob’s Return and Midday…
You can have the weekend and then I’ll give the answer and somebody else can pick the next question!
Where did Sheikh Mohammed have his first winner in 1977?
I’m happy to string a run of guesses here, don’t know the answer but will start with – Yarmouth
