Quiz time, and a bit different this week. Four cards from history, all from 1978 or 1979. Your task is to find ONE horse from each card and then tell me what they all did pretty much simultaneously on one occasion in the mid 80s. CLUE: Look in the novice hurdles. Answers at 6pm.

The winning shot as Yorkshire swept aside the old enemy this afternoon. However, the lack of Root, Brook, Bairstow etc because of franchise shit like the Hundred is unacceptable and unsustainable in the long term. 4500 fans saw a good game of cricket, but we deserve to see the superstars!

Qirat was a 150-1 winner of the Group One Sussex Stakes at Goodwood today. Although hardly as glamorous or impressive as Equinoctial in the Grant's Whisky Novices Handicap Hurdle at Kelso on 21 November 1990...

OK I think this could be fun. I also know it's not difficult to cheat, but that's up to you. Four random racecards plucked from the archives for you to look at. All you have to do is tell me the year (or season for NH) for each one. Simple as that. Answers at 5pm. Interaction and shares appreciated.

My mate, Simon, is a carpenter who makes things from old wood. Yesterday he built and installed my new bookshelves. They are crafted from reclaimed scaffold boards. They are rock solid and look fantastic!

Muscle stiffness is at its worst in the morning after laying in bed all night. That first walk to the bathroom is awful. Stretching and movement gradually loosens me up throughout the day. Then I do exactly the same the next morning, and the next... #parkinsons #awareness

I had a drink with my mate Chris Dalton last night. He never rode a winner but finished second to Restless Shot in the bumper at Warwick on 22-09-79 before slipping up on the flat on the same horse, Orchard Park, at Market Rasen the following week.
