Racing Horseracing Trivia

[iluvparis]

Seth has his Melbourne Cup trivia thread but I think there is enough interest to have one all year round.

If you get the right answer you can ask the next one.

NO GOOGLING ANSWERS!!!

 

[iluvparis]

Who was the only 2yo to be Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year?

[54Dogs]

Would have to be a diamond / slipper double winner, plus a few more. Or a triple crown winner

 

[54Dogs]

Manikato won the double but not sure what else.

Manikato?

One of those early 90s horses won the triple crown. Maybe Burst?

 

[HeathySure]

courtza?

 

[Jugada]

Ok i gave up and looked it up. Never would have guessed it

 

[iluvparis]

Looks like we have found a cracker of an opening question

I'll give those who haven't looked it up another 24 hours before revealing the answer.

After lunch I'll at least give you the decade it was in.

 

[iluvparis]

The award was won in the 80s.

 

[iluvparis]

The award was for the racing year 1985-86

 

[HeathySure]

Bounding Away, i should have got it it was when i started betting , she was pretty good she also won Oaks, I think Tommy Smith rated her one of his best ever

 

[HeathySure]

do i ask a question now cos i got one, its fairly old but the answer was well publisized.
Dulcify won his first start in a ordinary Saturday city meeting in Adelaide. what price was he?

 

[54Dogs]

Was definitely over 100-1, not sure what exactly. They bought him for like 2K or something

Will go with 150-1

 

[chunkylover]

330/1. Think i read that in an old racing book. Hayes had a few others in the race and didnt even look out for dulcify. Not sure i believe that. Must have had a nibble

 

[iluvparis]

I'll throw in 100/1 in case one of the other two don't have it.

 

[HeathySure]
