Re: Horse Racing Quiz - Round 2 - Closed
I was going to put the US triple crown as well seeing as ours is over 3 different distances but have just googled it and there are lots of different triple crowns all over the world. We even have a triple crown just for fillies which wasn't mentioned in the question. As for the music question how is the horse of the year programme a sport and what does show jumping have to do with horseracing? Also ive just googled Red Rum and it says his colour was indeed BAY so YI is right on that one as he was with the Oaks one which I always thought was the Derby.Solerina wrote:Congrats Eyes!

Lol yes, and I also thought this a strange question in a horseracing quiz......I knew the answer coz I used to follow the showjumping....back in Nick Skelton's day.
14 hands is still most definitely a pony btw
Anyway, I loved the quiz so please hurry up with round 2, YI
