    The Alan King trained Ned Stark runs in the 1.20 at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day.

    Why would it be appropriate if he was to lose the race by a head?

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    Was he a character on Robin Hood and did little Jon chop his head off?

    I don’t think there was a Ned Stark in Robin Hood Nathan. I didn’t actually notice Little Jon was in that race as well, until he fell.

    I’ll give you that as an answer though, because Ned Stark

    did

    get his head cut off. He was a character in Game Of Thrones, played by Sean Bean, and he was beheaded at the end of series one.

    I gave up on watching the series because of the amount of gratuitous nudity and foul language. There wasn’t enough of it :lol:

    Bean should have been Ned Starkers!

    Over to you for a more horse oriented question Nathan.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    I remember as a 2yo he used to be trained by Brian Meehan, saw him run a couple of times at Newmarket and he seems to have made a career out of running 2nd :? :D

    Here goes with a question, will give some clues later if needed…

    Question:

    From the year 2000…
    which English and Irish 2,000 Guineas winner was beaten by two fillies..once in Ireland when odds on as a 2yo by a 33/1 shot and then as a 3yo in France and can you name the fillies? :D

    :lol: Took me ages to think it up Nathan, I was helped by a picture I have of one of the winning fillies, my friend visited her trainer in Ireland and he signed it for me…there’s the first clue :wink:

    So would it be Harrington then that trained one of the fillies?

    So the Irish horse didn’t have a female trainer then.
    Must learn to read with my eyes open…… :lol:

    :D :D Well done rob, over to you for the next question. :D :D

    No female trainer for Saoirse Nathan, it was Jim Bolger.
    Her name translates to something like Freedom Forever, I think she is a brood mare for Godolphin now and her best progeny so far is Ennistown by Authorized.

    Hi everyone

    Apologies for not posting a question yet, but we’ve been concerned about a terminally ill relative in the last few days which rather detracts from more trifling matters.

    I’ll set a question at the weekend.
