    Nope. I think the first two are relatively easy.

    2 is the sire of sires isn't he?

    3rd one probably has a race named after him

    Both correct. But number two is certainly not just a sire of sires.

    I'm assuming you have the second one already (Northern Dancer).

    All done and dusted.

    1 is Champion Sire Saddlers Wells.
    2 is his sire Northern Dancer.
    3 is Hyperion, who had an enormous influence on thoroughbred breeding. Indeed he is the damsire of Neartic, sire of Northern Dancer.

    I have another. If you get this quickly then i'll try some trickier ones.

    I think the first has already been mentioned on this thread. Giant's Causeway?

    No picture, just his name. I'm struggling on the other two. I'm thinking Coolmore Stallions with the Giant's Causeway connection. Am i barking up the wrong tree?!
