I totally skipped this one Ian because I had no hair left to pull out after the last quiz. But it was still very good, and congratulations to all those who got it.

refrain,

Yes, I'm also confused about that.

Kirsten,

Was your initial post a complete guess? Interesting that the other horse in the picture is Tiller (running second to Waya).

Kirsten: I'm baffled. Your initial post (of July 8 at 12:10 PM) has either Tiller or Field Cat as your answer to the horse in question-yet Judy O'Grady is your answer for the inbred ancestor. Well, neither Tiller's, nor Field Cat's pedigree contains Judy O'Grady as an inbred ancestor (Waya's does).

Perhaps Ian may also be able to shed some light.
