Pointless Horse Racing – Game 3

In the 'calm before the storm' period that we are currently in gee-gee wise let’s have another round of Pointless Horse Racing.

Here we go then, troops. I’ve given 100 knowledgeable racing enthusiasts 100 seconds to name anyone who was either Champion Trainer or Champion Jockey on the Flat, or in the NH Sphere, in Britain since peace broke out at a quarter to 8. Sorry, I’ve read that wrong. Since peace broke out in 1945.

The winner will be the person, on the forum. who gives the first pointless answer. Pilgrims, we can discount Mr Henderson as he was the highest scorer with 100 – apparently there appears no one in racing who doesn’t know all about him!

Note – The independent adjudicator has been given a list of the answers so that I can’t be accused of making it up as I go along.

 

If it wasn't so recent I would have said Crowley

I'll have a stab at Spencer

 

In the category of jumps trainer I'll go Denys Smith, William Hall and Tommy Rayson. My least likely being Denys Smithand my most likely being William Hall. So let's put those in order
Denys Smith
Tommy Rayson
William Hall

 

Well this one lasted infinitely shorter than the other 2 rounds! Tommy Rayson is POINTLESS! Well done, Ron.

 

Other responses

Fulke Walwyn – 29

Jamie Spencer – 18

Denys Smith – 6

William Hall (before he packed training in to become a bookie chappie) - 1

 

I always remember Charlie Smirk coming back on the Derby winner and saying "What did I Tulyar". Tulyar was trained by Marcus Marsh and he would be my guess for flat trainer

 

Too late, sorry

 

Out of interest what were the other pointless answers Barney?

 

Marcus Marsh - 2

 

Jack Dowdeswell, Tim Brookshaw, Arthur Budgett, Paul Cole and Charles Semblat.

 

Surprised at Arthur Budget and Tim Brookshaw. Wouldn't have guessed Dowdeswell in a month of Sundays. I almost said Charles Semblat but convinced myself that would be a 1 or 2 as he was famous for having trained classic winners and for being British Champion Trainer without actually coming to Britain

 

Emma?
