It was a royal dog. Not a corgi but owned by The Queen Mum I think
I used to do to Wembley about this time ( and tried to get a job there) and there was a stable ( or is that a kennel) of royal dogs there

You're halfway there Beth, it was the first, and to date, only dog owned by a member of the Royal Family to win the Derby and was owned by Prince Philip.

A clue to the other part of the question concerns what happened the week before the Derby in the semi-final...

I was going to say she gave birth to puppies but just checked and she was a boy. So not that

I thought the semifinal was run on the same day?
 
All the Derbies I've been to were single races on the night, there were qualifiers that started about six weeks before at various tracks. The two semis were the Saturday before when at Wimbledon which took it over when White City closed...
 
So it is something that happened in the semifinal...

.....................................no idea....ah was the winner disqualified and Flash was promoted

I'll give you it Beth, Flash finished 4th in the semi and was eliminated, however, one of the dogs that beat him went lame and he took it's place, thus becoming the first winner that had previously been eliminated...

That's not all as there were many conspiracy theories such as the powers that be were determined to have the Royal dog in the race and that things had gone on behind the scenes to get him to the final. He still had to win it and this was also subject to rumours, this being one of them...

Here goes....an interesting question.


Which is the only record to have been knocked off the no.1 spot by a record whose title can be found in the lyric of the first song?

Mamma Mia by Abba replaced Bohemian Rhapsody at no. 1 in January 1976. Bo Rhap obviously had the line ... '' mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia let me go.''

I only know this as it's a frequent pub quiz question. Another good one is ...

What is is the only palindromic hit song by a palindromic artist?
