    A horse called Oh so sharp who won the St. Ledger in 1985 thus completing the trio of wins. Racecourse stewards called an inquiry because she veered to the right at one point possibly causing interference. Not sure of the other jockey - was it Lester Piggott ?

    What is the link between:

    Monaco, Tokyo, Douglas, Ulan Bator, Dublin, Nicosia, Rome, and Oslo?

    You have been to all of them?

    My geography is not good but maybe if you join up the dots of their location you get a certain shape?

    You may well do Ron (possible the shape of my belly) but neither of your answers are correct

    They are indeed Minxy but the link I am looking for is football related

    (Monaco City is the capital of the Principality of Monaco)

    They are all useless at football.

    Is it to do with a player who has played in all of them or a manager who has managed in all of them?
