6/10 for Mac

X(

5. If you meant 1995 to 1997, it was Olivier Peslier.
6. The Belmont Stakes is the Triple Crown race held on Long Island. The Preakness is in Maryland, and the Kentucky Derby is in, well, you figure it out.

I'm sure the Derby was at Epsom between the wars, but at Newmarket during the wars.X(

5.1985 to 1987

I don't know about 1985/87. It wouldn't have been Piggott that late. Peslier definitely did in the 90s, culminating with Peintre Celebre, because I discovered that when I did some research on him for the recent International Challenge. I wasn't aware of another Arc hat-trick in the 1980s, but I'd leam with one of the French-based riders rather than someone like Pat Eddery, for instance. But who, is the million dollar question!

I'll take a wild stab at Freddie Head.
