Now I know Moodwalker knows this so he's not allowed to answer (or tell Bellamy Road). :p

Isn't he pretty? :eek:

Anyone?

if all horses looked like that, they'd have to run with brown bags over their heads...

I was wondering where old Brown Bags was running. Probably over his head again.
If that is a filly, she's Baggette.

Oh c'mon..... he's cute. :D

Hints.....

1. Meow:p
2. He's running this weekend. (He'll win).:cool:

Pig Vomit?

Didn't he run last week?:D

Someone has to know this! He's so, ummm.... one-of-a-kind looking...

Okay well I'm not gonna answer that one yet..... someone has to know!

Here's question #2..... a bit easier.

Who was Makybe Diva named for?

Please feel free to add your own trivia questions. :)

Thanks for letting me know...Pig Vomit...oy vey!
Makybe Diva ...I'll guess Lady Ga

Maybe Prudery should answer that one..... :)

Hey Moodwalker..... you wanna go ahead and tell these fine, fine people who the picture is of?

That is the one and only Apache Cat...


A worm-burning weed clipper of a sprinter if there ever was one.

Single handedly stole the racing soul of God's Own and his followers on numerous occasions.

He will be winning again in the near future.

Come on, BellamyRd.

He is the prettiest horse in the entire land of Oz.

Makybe Diva was named for five woman who worked in the owners Tuna factory.....

Thanks for answering the Apaaaaache Cat question, Moodwalker. :cool:

One more Makybe Diva question..... this one sad.

When she won her third Melbourne Cup, what special tribute did she pay to her (former) stable mate - the gifted and gallant Mummify?

I don't even know this one, and I watched the entire hour-long post race procession of her.

I can post four little words to answer but it'll lose the powerful and lovely thought behind it..... made me cry.

The answer.....

That is such a nice story, Miss SC. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't know that MMSC, that is a good one.

Mummify was my absolute favorite horse from down-under.

I stayed at work until 6 a.m. that night calling down and checking to see if they had heard anything on him.

It's a beautiful story and yeah, felt like my heart had been ripped out that day.

He was a true champion. So sad.

Next question, so as not to continue being so depressing here.....

Hong Kong racing question but don't be scared! :D It's an easy one! Lots of the Hong Kong horses undergo name changes.....Bullish Luck was Al Moughazel, Best Gift was Carlisle Bay, Sunny Sing was, ummm.... Sacred Nuts, Vengeance of Rain was known as Subscribe.

Who was / is Eltira?

easy only because mood's battle with a certain person on here..

silent witness right?

Very good!

(I missed a Silent Witness battle? Damn!)

For answering correctly you get to watch the Silent Witness music video! :D

(We All Stand Together, English version).

Okay who else has a question??? I don't want to hog the thread..... :)

I watched it in Chinese too...:D

I thought this was good....you may have seen it on bloodhorse last week.

This colt delivered a major Travers upset when he defeated the winners of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont in the ten-furlong race. It was the first time all three Triple Crown event winners had started in one race and were upset by another horse.
Who is the colt and in what year was the upset?
Also, name the winners of that year's Triple Crown races.

It's a year old but I never saw the Chinese version.

I don't know the answer to yours but I'll add one. Who was the last horse to beat Seabiscuit?

Spooky Mulder?

I'm sorry, i'm not real good at this.

Spooky Mulder is old but he's not that old. :D :D :D

I was gonna request that you watch both versions but didn't want to appear pushy. :D

It was on BH? Cool! A friend in Singapore sent it to me last year..... glad they're up to date. :p

NO idea the answer(s) to yours..... those are the sort of questions that I start stressing over, try to find the answers to, and end up biting off heads of those in my life, having panic attacks, and answering the phone saying "WHAT?" in frustration and, and.....

Some smart person will be able to answer, i'm sure.

Here's an easier one for us morons..... name the three who hit the board in the Santa Monica Handicap..... aka the bad girl tri. :eek:

I'm not sure if this is a trick question...
1987's Traver's winner was Java Gold who beat
Alysheba & Bet Twice, but...
that's not right if there are three different horses

Wasn't meant to be a trick question, but three different horses won a leg of the TC this particular year

Ok...I thought I had it
I should have known this one though, he's still standing at Vinery
a 1979 foal...beat Gato del sol, conqu.cielo, and hmm...damn

The Hopeful

a) What horse was the last to win both the Hopeful at 2 and the KY Derby at 3?

b) Recently there was a dead heat for 1st in the Hopeful? Name the horses.

c) Name the horse that won last year's Hopeful. :)

lol....you got it, just missing the Preakness winner, Alomas Ruler....

is A Affirmed?
C is First Samurai....

B has me stumped

b--yonaguska and city zip, in 2000.

NO idea.....

heelfly or specify I think.

Specify is right.
