Archie Bunker is correct

[CLARE1977]

Razza, didnt Commanche Run win the 1984 st Ledger? I need to know who won it in 1954

[razza]

Hi CLARE1977 Never say die did win the 1954 St Leger,but if you are doing the Whatstandwell summer quiz take a closer look at the year in question,mine says 1984 which was Commanche Run,and if you have got the others in that category then you will see why.If you are doing another quiz then I apologise for giving a wrong answer.Good luck whichever quiz you arer doing.

[earthakitten]

If this is the Whatstandwell quiz are you sure you want 1954.... mine says 'Horse on which Lester Pigot won the 1984 St Ledger....answer ...Commanche Run... xx

[earthakitten]
