winnie, 69. not sure I understand what you meant,but.... answer is name of a type of (amateur) horse race.

Thanks winnie. That has confirmed my answer to 69. Could not see why I had it but can now!
Will work on 32 when have finished in garden.Quick glance in Chambers and could not see.
My trusty Bradford's no help on this.

It's not Stow it's South to West, i.e. points of the compass or one p. to another p. which as you've said is a horse race for amateurs.

re 71: I have an answer but can't see a horse connection. My answer involves GP, loss, and a slang form of 'is not'; the two words certainly refer to something that is 'likely to shine'. But am I barking (or neighing) up the wrong tree?

calliewag elton john changed his name from dwight to elton hercules john.

thank you lizzieminto, I'd just got that via the other thread. I'll try this one on here too - is the word 'hopelessly' significant in 57? I have a possible answer but not sure whether it's precise enough.

Calliewag re 57 "hopelessly" could just as easily have read "extremely". You're looking for another term for "old fashioned" and the third word also means infested with nasties !

Thank you quizzical. That was the answer I had, so I'll go with it.
