erhaab1965 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What's the connection? Azure Fly, Brave Spartacus, Special Envoy. For anybody with gray, receding or no hair, here's a bonus clue. Barton Bank. I might be back in a few hours to reveal the answer. It depends if Homebase is still open, I need a short piece of rope and some step ladders.

For those of you who don't like to respond to my posts, here's the answer. They were all miles clear at the last obstacle only to for the jockey to fall off . I beat the SP last night on Azure Fly, my only bet of the day , was about 10 lengths at the last jumped it ok but the horse went left afterwards and the jockey fell off. This is one aspect of jumps racing that I hate, it obviously happens very often ,but last night I had an above average sized bet and it hurt me quite a bit. Not blaming anyone but myself. I'm sure many of us in the past have benefited when the second positioned horse is left in front under same circumstances. Unfortunately Homebase was shut last night, but I didn't have money anyway. I tried locking myself in the garage and keeping the engine running but at 430am I realised the gypsies had removed half the garage roof slates.

Obvioulsy, I couldn't answer due to sporting a full head of hair but had I also spent half an hour (at least!) trying to answer this I'd be a tiny bit miffed at the answer!! Tonnes of horses missing from the list!! Reminds me of the Family Fortunes question!! 'Name something that is Red?', 'My Cardigan'!!!!! :wall What's the connection between Welease Bwian, Lastkingofscotland, Sea The Storm and Rose Garnet? I backed them all towards the back end of 2012.

I think you are right, there could be a bit of mileage in this. I will think of another one, won't be back on here till late tonight, got a long shift ahead down the coalmine.

BillyHills Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Re: Erhaab's Quiz Questions Ok, my shout; I remember one of the Cannon and Ball duo owning a 2yo back in the late 80's, trained by Jack Berry and it won 3 races, and all of those other owners are quite old, from the same era. So is the answer something like they all had winning racehorses in the same season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erhaab1965 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Re: Erhaab's Quiz Questions Answer to my last question is Godolphin. Cannon and Ball made a film called The Boys in Blue ( I watched it at the cinema and all I can remember is that it was dreadful ) ,who in racing circles is a reference to Godolphin. The named owners all had horses which subsequently went to Godolphin. In retrospect the Cannon and Ball theme was a bit hard without Google. Will try and think of an easier one tomorrow.

Without using Google, who are the 2 who trained the horses, they are current top trainers. If you know, make an acknowledgement like a tick or a wink. They were won about 20 years ago, using your knowledge of the sport who can they possibly be? Answer in approx 6 hrs time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
