A chance for redemption folks! Same rules as before, 16 hours to bid, 48 hours to complete your list etc etc

Will be a mirror with the final so no looking!

Will be a best of 7 since I have enough categories so why not - will be tougher though so get your thinking caps on!

Question 1 coming up shortly! GL folks

Question 1

Since the race got void in 1993, name the 25 horses who have won the Grand National at Aintree since then (so 1994-present)


Only need the name of the horse, but i'd be super impressed if you can remember the jockey and/or starting price

Bolt/nails to bid first, go go go!

I watch the triple crown races and that's about it. Can't say I've ever heard of Aintree.

Can we bid 0?

Hahaha I honestly thought this was a great category, hence why I saved it for the final

I suppose you can pass on 0, and the other team can either decide to name 1 and win or pass as well and it'll stay 0-0 with a new category

Or if both teams agree I can start over with a new question 1, i'm sure I can find one extra category from somewhere lol

Bump

If JM3/LK know absolutely nothing about the category as well then i'll just restart it

Thought horse racing was massive in the US, what with the Kentucky Derby and everything, Grand National is like the biggest race of them all (well maybe I think that because i'm from the UK lol)

I'm a huge horse racing fan, and I think I could name 2. I assumed it was mostly a British event, but on wiki it says that the Grand National is watched by over 500 million people, which I find quite shocking tbh. Still not sure I believe it.

If LK doesn't know any either then will do a new category for Q1

I also bid zero. If it was KY Derby I could've probably gotten ten fwiw.

I've probably watched the derby live around 30 times but naming 10 winners would be a stretch for me.

Question 1 (again)

Name the 29 tennis players who have won 5 or more mens' grand slam single titles (all time)


Bolt/nails to bid first, hopefully tennis is a better category
