RC struck again last week by identifying champion Billy Kelly as the workmate for champion Sir Barton. Let's see who'll be first to come up with the mystery horse this week! http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

Christy Hatley correctly identified Misty Morn as the answer to last week's trivia challenge. Who's got it for this week? http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

Last week's question turned out to be a stumper as no one got Sky Classic, the four-time champion (3 Canadian titles plus 1 American) with three champion siblings. Let's see who can come up with this week's mystery horse! http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

RC and Joanna shared honors in the trivia challenge last week, coming up with Rubiano and his regular pilot Julie Krone. This week's challenge is a special in honor of the Breeders' Cup. Can anyone come up with the answers to all 5 questions before post time for the Classic? As usual, all the answers can be found on the American Classic Pedigrees website. http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

Hats off to RC, who came within a whisker of running the table for the Breeders' Cup trivia challenge; the only thing he didn't have was the identity of "Honeybear" (Azeri). This week's quiz centers on the stable ponies of famous racers---good luck! http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

The new weekly trivia question has been posted at American Classic Pedigrees (http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints). Those who check it out will also be able to see the answers to last week's quiz on "Stable Ponies of the Rich and Famous."

Bill and Leila correctly identified last week's mystery horse as Khaled, who revealed that he was wind-broken when Rex Ellsworth punched him in the belly. This week's question could be subtitled "4x4"---let's see who comes up with the answers first. http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

No one came up with all four 20th century American colts to win four Derbies. In chronological order (earliest first), they are Claude, Black Gold, Smarten, and Olympio. Better luck with this week's trivia challenge! http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

Just thought I'd let you know I enjoy these weekly quizzes immensely! Even if I don't have time to figure out the answers!

Glad you're enjoying these!

RC nailed last week's trivia challenge by identifying California Chrome as the latest member of the four-Derby club. Who's up for this week's challenge on one of racing's great comeback stories? http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

Joanna was the first to identify Sunday Silence as the champion who had a music album and its title track named in his honor. Both were created by his proud owner-breeder, Arthur Hancock III. So, who will be the first to gallop in with the answer to this week's trivia challenge? http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

RC was quick to leap on Northern Dancer as last week's mystery horse. Let's see who gallops in with the answer to this week's trivia question! http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints

Julia correctly identified Eddie Arcaro (American Triple Crown with Whirlaway and Citation) and Don Seymour (Canadian Triple Crown with With Approval and Izvestia) as the two North American jockeys to win two Triple Crowns each. This week's question is better late than never: http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints
