Thank you. A wonderful diversion. Just what I needed as the coffee was a tad slow in kicking in. Even got some of them right!
Racionante…because smarter than the Don, right?
Yes thanks — James caught that also.
A dire result – only got 2. I kept looking for Roy Rogers.
It took a couple of guesses, but I got them all! Now I have to explain to my wife why I'm so proud.
WOW! Good for you.
Scored 9, even though I immediately knew only 4. Them educated guesses sure come in handy, sometimes.
I consider that a good score if you are American, and even better if you are not, given the American tilt of the questions.
Yes, I'd have liked to have seen a few more non-US steeds: Babieca, Incitatus, Marengo, Copenhagen, White Surrey
I only got six, but I'm rather disappointed that Incitatus didn't make the list.
