    An easy one for Ron- and others. Name this famous horse:

    The first one's 'comically desperate,'
    The second sounds like snitch and squeal,
    The last fired arrows yet all too late,
    Valiant but squashed under white man's heel.

    I have no idea Tam, I'm useless at this kind of stuff, but when I saw the Riddle-Me-Ree title, my heart jumped jumped for joy. I though it may have been about one of my favourite songs. Silly me. <laugh>

    I'll bet you're a Motown fan.

    Cyc, in autumn 1966, I went to see The Four Tops at the City Hall in Sheffield- just after Reach Out had got to number one. The sound produced by the domed building was incredible! I found out why years later when I visited Devonshire Royal Hospital in Buxton, Derbyshire. The building was formerly the racing stables of the Duke of Devonshire, and the massive domed reception was apparently a perfect parabola. As I stood at the desk, I could hear people’s’ conversations about 70 yards away. You had to experience it to believe it.

    No idea Tam. I thought of Blue Peter but can't make it fit the last line, and the third line was a stretch of the imagination. As usual I'll need some clues; like the first 3 letters <laugh>
