MikeO Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Is Tattersalls involved ? (That's the extent on my horse dealing knowledge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Is Tattersalls involved ? (That's the extent on my horse dealing knowledge) No, it has nothing to do with racehorses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Unless its a word the dealers go under or use for professional purposes and also the name of a golf course then that question is to obscure for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Unless its a word the dealers go under or use for professional purposes and also the name of a golf course then that question is to obscure for me. Dealers are in the sense of people who buy horses, keep asking questions and all will become clear. World Golf Championships do have a very specific, although somewhat obscure, connection with UK horse dealing. It would really be a wste of time to ask questions that can be googled straight off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Is Bloodstock part of the answer?, as in bloodstock agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Is Bloodstock part of the answer?, as in bloodstock agent. No mate, its more to do with where they are sold, not how or who by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Accenture, who are one of the World Golf Championship's sponsors, also sponsor UK show jumping (Christmas puissance at Olympia for one). Doesn't quite work as an answer to the question though sadly <_< . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beard Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thoroughbreds are sold at Tattersalls ( Doncaster and Newmarket) but if it isn't anything to do with racehorses then there is no general name for a place that sells horses unless it is the name of the place, town, city etc. I guess i am no nearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Tom Watson on Tiger Woods' return from injury at the World Champs.... “He’s the draw, the stud, the marquee player, he’s the top dude and without him there’s a vacuum,” ...grasping at straws here .

We have a winner, all cheer KING MIKE Do you lads think these are to hard, they are designed to prevent googling, you need to research the answer.
