No one brave enough to put there answers on here then :lol:
Answers were
Day One: Nearly everyone came up with the right answer for the racecourse, which was CHESTER, but no one correctly identified the jockey. Most went for SWC, one for Nina Carberry, but the answer was RUBY WALSH who rode Long Run on his last racecourse appearance.
Day Two: The racecourse in question was the JULY COURSE, NEWMARKET and virtually everyone identified WAYWARD LAD .
Day Three: No one identified FFOS LLAS, our joker in the second picture was MATTIE BACHELOR.
Day Four: One of my own pictures and not likely to be found on Google Image Search, the racecourse was DOWN ROYAL whilst the jockey was OLIVIER PESLIER .
Day Five: Well done to the two who identified LEICESTER and the wellies and the stick belonged to NICKY HENDERSON.
Day Six: A lot of you identified this as Newbury but it was in fact BADEN BADEN and the young lad who went one to become a trainer was RICHARD HANNON SNR
Day Seven:Easier today and the racecourse picture was another of mine taken from the roof at LUDLOW and the horse was easily identifiable as VINTAGE CROP
Day Eight: Most went for Laytown but the clue was that the horses race there with the sea on their nearside and here the sea in the picture is on their offside, it was in fact SAN LUCAR. The horse jumping at Aintree was CRISP.
Day Nine: A good day for most of you, the answers being HUNTINGDON and TED WALSH
Day Ten: Not surprisingly the only correct answers as regards the racecourse came from over the water, the racecourse was TIPPERARY. Most of you correctly identified SHERGAR
Day Eleven: The big clue to the racecourse was the furniture removal lorries in the background and the cathedral, the answer being HEREFORD, good knowledge being displayed by those who identified MONSIGNOR
Day Twelve: And Christmas Day pictures both came from Ireland, another of my pictures of a racecourse, this time of NAVAN, however no one identified the Santa on horseback which was PAUL TOWNEND on HURRICANE FLY.
In the words of our winner I think you needed a mixture of retained knowledge, decent research, intelligent guesses and total shots in the dark for this competition which was primarily for fun and I hope you enjoyed it even if you didn't submit any answers.
I wasn't going to post the scores in order to save embarrassment but I will make an exception for our winner ARCHIE who scored a pretty impressive 20 points out of 25. Well done Archie, if you forward me your name and address I will post out a Punchestown calendar which includes all the fixtures in Britain and Ireland for 2016.
