PWJ Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Loving LB's trivia quiz questions so here is a real toughie: It's very simple: Three photos: 1) A standardbred - name please ? 2) A throroughbred - name please ? 3) The horse in the black and white photo is the connection between the first two. Who is he and what is the connection ? An Arrowfield cap is the prize if you can get Q3 correct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Blue Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Must be some sort of 'Big Red' connection by the size of that trotter. I'll go for question 2 pictured winning the Melbourne Cup Verry Elleegant , with her name there nicely on the saddle-cloth thanks . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globederby19 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 No Excuses Needed was born in 1998. Allowing for a 36 yr old horse, about, the horse in the B&W picture would have been around in the sixty's, late 50,s . That picture looks earlier than that. ??. Zabeel maybe.
