    (b) Andre Fabre is the most successful European trainer at BC (win and placed horses). Name his 3 winners, the year and the races won.

    (c) European trained horses have failed to win any races on 4 occasions. Name the years.

    Ooops, Ron spotted my deliberate error! I'd forgotten Banks Hill as she later switched to Bobby Frankel, but yes Andre Fabre did have 4 winners.

    Total European winners - I have less than 48.

    Blank years - 2 out of 4 right.

    I'll throw in two more Breeders' Cup related questions:

    (a) Two sets of siblings have won at Breeders' Cup. Can you name the 4 horses, the races they won and their dams?

    (b) Sticking with the family theme, can you name the three generations (mother, daughter and granddaughter) that have won Breeders' Cup races, and which races they won?

    I'll post the answers before I leave work this evening, if no one gets them right...

    Shift work <laugh> Nah, I'm a 9 to 5er but seeing as my boss is at Churchill Downs and my colleague is off sick I have that distinct Friday feeling and would rather sit here thinking up quiz questions for you lot rather than start ploughing through the Tattersalls Ireland National Hunt sale catalogue that is sitting on my desk :emoticon-0104-surpr
