A say day for for greyhound racing and myself personally after 12 years as the Life's breeding correspondent. The date was 12 May, but what year? 1998, 2000 or 2001?
More brain teasers, hopefully backed up by some interesting snippets of information.
But first – Saturday’s picture quiz results
The main picture was of course Rio Quattro, winner of the £250,000 William Hill Derby Final.
The remaining photos, in order, were: Mark Schallenberg (Harlow), Jimmy Fenwick, the East Anglian Derby trophy, Shawfield, (a young) Mark Wallis, Lacca Champion and David and John Mullins, Harry Findlay, Leeds greyhound track, Spiral Nikita.
