Re: Famous Racehorses in the 20th Century
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

Re: Famous Racehorses in the 20th Century
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

Re: Famous Racehorses in the 20th Century
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

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.

Re: Famous Racehorses in the 20th Century
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
