Might have been a bit difficult as Dessie was a gelding

Nope, here's clue it's not a British horse although he did sire one of the legends of the classic season

There was a program on the tv a while ago about this.

If I remember correctly it's an American horse. Sea biscuit?

Getting closer but neither the country of origin or name is correct although it did spend most of its life in America

GeoffCapes · May 22, 2016

Haven't a clue then.

I thought this would be an easy one

Are we talking about Nijinsky ? Or maybe its bloodline.

Not Nijinsky but yes his bloodline

I would have to google to name it but i assume its the father of Nijinsky or Grandfather. I think Najinski was Canadian if that helps somebody get the answer.

Looks like you have us beaten again zag. Reveal and your question again.

Northern Dancer won the Kentucky Derby in 64 and many other races but then went on to sire such greats as Nijinsky, The Minstrel, Shareef Dancer, Secreto, El Gran SeÃ±or all classic winners in their own right . Because of the number of winners he sired his stud fee was $1m a pop.

Some one else better have a go

Me Me Me !
Whose horse (oh no not again) was called Topper

That was hercules i think. I think i know this one but will let it run as i set the question a few days ago.

Thumperuk · May 24, 2016

I don't know, I'm going to claim to be too young to remember Steptoe and son with any clarity

daverichardson · May 24, 2016

Think a bit older and on TV

So black and white? Cowboy films were big so I'm guessing Clint Eastwood's character in Rawhide. Can't think of the name....
