Had a few minutes spare earlier on so was able to compile the following. Can the great brains on the old forum get 10/10?!? 1. Old boy King Edward VII described which race meeting as 'a garden party with racing tacked onâ??? 2. Name the horse. I have won races in England, Ireland and the US of A. I lost my unbeaten record in a 2010 UK Classic. I never ran in the Derby but am 2/2 at Epsom. 3. Which trainer saddled the winner of the most recent Cheltenham Festival race??? 4. Name âKingâ Kieren Fallonâs most recent Group 1 winner. 5. Which big Flat handicap did old boy Sir Winston Churchill win on the day of his 50th Wedding Anniversary??? 6. There is racing at Bath this afternoon. A lot of people attending will arrive by train but what is the full name (both words) of the main railway station that serves the city??? 7. Name the trainer. I started training in 1985. I am based in Somerset. At the Cheltenham Festival I have won the Champion Hurdle and the Champion Chase but to date not the Cheltenham Gold Cup. 8. In what year did 'King' Kieren Fallon last ride for Sir Henry Cecil??? 9. What is the answer to this sum??? Mr Henderson, the forumâs favourite trainerâs, age â the number of fences on the Grand National course jumped just once in the big race 10. Name the horse. My last 2 races have seen me win a pair of Group 2's at Newmarket and Goodwood. My trainer, assistant trainer and usual jockey are all called Richard. Right now my name is very, very, and I do mean very, very, topical. Iâll put the answers up around lunchtime tomorrow.
2 = St Nicholas Abbey 3 = Nicky Henderson (saddled Bellvano (who is my avatar and sadly no longer with us) to win the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual - the last race of the 2012 festival)
5. Stewards Cup (he married in 1908 and won the Stewards Cup in 1958 with Tudor Monarch) ?? Edit: he married 12th Sept 1908 so we are looking at a race on 12th Sept 1958. Stewards Cup too early in season and Tudor Monarch won 1959 anyway
5. Welsh Abbot won the Portland Stakes for Churchill in 1958 on 12th September - he received the news by telegram as he was celebrating his anniversary in a villa on the french riviera (with his wife)
9 = 59. Mr Henderson is aged 61 (born 10th Dec 10th 1950) minus 2 fences only jumped once in the National (Fence 15 The Chair and Fence 16 the water jump) = 59
8. = 1999 - I just spent ages looking for his last winner as I misread the question. For a bonus point was their last joint winner Selfish in the Oak Tree Stakes? I know he was sacked during Glorious Goodwood in 1999 and their last joint runner got beat at Deauville.
Barney, sadly I've only just seen your quiz. Now I know why the word "chuckles" appears in your name- when you call it "A QUICK 10 Question Quiz!" Here's one for you- or everyone... In sight of which English racecourse were cattle herded and milked nearly 2000 years ago? Clue: As you drive into this town, there is a signpost showing its old name which gives a clue to the answer.Also, what is this old name?
