+MazdaRoy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I will have a guess at "See the Stars". think its right if my memory serves me right. Quote Link to comment
+NattyBooshka Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I will have a guess at "See the Stars". think its right if my memory serves me right. See the Stars won The Derby and the 2000 Guineas, but not the St Ledger, in 2009. Quote Link to comment

Pajaholic Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 IIRC there's more than one 'triple crown'. We have one, the Yanks have one, and I suspect that the Irish might have one. I suspect that ours is for three out of: 1000 Guineas, 2000 Guineas, Derby, Oaks, St Leger. My mother used to manage a branch of William Hill's in the late 1960s and early 1970s and ISTR her coming home saying they'd taken a hammering. Red Rum ran over the sticks and the Triple Crown is flat racing. So it wasn't him and had to be a horse famous for the flats. I'm not a racing fan, so the only ones I can remember are Shergar, Mill Reef, and Najinski. I don't know whether any of those won the Triple Crown, but I'll take a first stab at Mill Reef purely because IIRC that was the horse that cost my mum's betting shop dearly! Quote Link to comment

If they're going to talk about football they could at least talk about the Union code rather than the Association code. I still don't think I'd be able to answer the questions though.
