No racing from now until Boxing Day (or St Stephen's Day if you are from the Emerald Isle) so have a Wonderful Christmas and keep scrolling down for the 'quiz'
There are quite a few clever, erudite, cerebral (and relatively difficult) horseracing quizzes out there in cyberspace like this one on Narrowing The Fields blog.
I've not attempted to create anything on a par with that but instead, I have concocted one with pictures - the "say what you see" Catchphrase' of horseracing quizzes if you like (loosely based on my nightly naps clues feedback).
This quiz can be attempted when you've reached saturation point with the Baileys, eggnog, wine, beer and other festive spirits and without having to call upon the grey matter too much and (added bonus!)......it's a great excuse to get away from Auntie Mabel in the living room when she's finished talking through all the good TV shows and progressed to burping and farting mode (damn those mince pies!)
All the pics or videos are a clue to a flat or NH racehorse which you will have heard of (not some obscure Wolves class 6 claimer) .....some are insultingly easy and others need a dollop of lateral thinking adding to the mix.
There are 20 questions and the answers (as if you need them!) will be up here Christmas Day evening:
