Who are they? What's that? You want cryptic clues, you say?? Look, I am but a poor Mustelid but these may or may not help ... Ned 1. The office has a hidden crown. Ned 2. A small girl in the midst of an old stargazer. If born in April, then they must be both Northern Hemisphere horses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardigras Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm sure all the winners at Randwick today have some interesting facts behind them. One of them has something certainly very rare. Can you pick the winner I am referring to and the quite rare fact related to it? (It's pretty easy I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact around this horse (which is rare since only 3 horses have done it) is that he is one of only 3 horses to ever finish in a race in front of Enable.

curious Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 You could have posted another clue which enabled us to find the answer! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Can anyone name the horse that never won a race, is retired now. Won over $200k in stakes and placed in an open handicap. Can anyone name two horses that are still active racehorses, that have won over $500k in stakes, but have not won a race as yet.

Q2 Are they 2 year olds? 1. It may have been one of yours. Not a bad horse. I can't answer that as I don't who yours may have been 🙂 Do you want another clue? And yes, the second sentence is one that means the horse was able to gain a start in an open handicap - even as a maiden. 2. Yes, both are current 2yos Edited April 12, 2020 by mardigras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
