    Good morning to everyone on the Forum- and welcome to everyone who is new .
    Let's hope we can all have some fun and friendship as BBC's 606 smoulders.
    I know Ron likes riddles, so I've added one below.
    If it's too obtuse, then please tell me...

    You're a 'fool' if you're tricked at this time of year,
    Is this merely a date or the name of the horse?
    Wait a few days and you've nothing to fear,
    For this Classic Winner trained on the course.

    I thought I might get this one Tam but I'm struggling and will need a clue. Is it a classic winner and, if so, was it after 1960?

    Yes, Ron, it's a classic winner- as per the riddle; a pre-1960 winner.
    To get you on track, the main clue is in the first line. The other clue is early in the third line.

    Damn, I was only looking back to 1960 because all the quizzes on 606 used to be "since 1960". Well done Islander.
