English and Irish triple crown
6th May - Newmarket - 2000 Guineas (1 mile)
31st May - Curragh - Irish 2000 Guineas (1 mile)
19th June - Epsom - Derby (1 mile 4f)
15th July - Curragh - Irish Derby (1 mile 4f)
5th Sept - Curragh - Irish St Leger (1 mile 6f)

thats a good one dave but problem is the irish races are so easy to win. what ive tried to do on mine is win, derby/oaks, st leger, arc, melbourne cup and then come back at 4 and try to win the gold cup.
I havent tried it yet as im still waiting for the right horse. Got a filly(Midday) won the oaks and won/placed in irish oaks, arc, king george. and ive got a colt whos just won 1m2f maiden at 2, then 2 handicaps over 2m, queens vase, goodwood cup and lonsdale cup. Ran respectebly in the melbourne cup off top weight. Tried him in ascot gold cup but he just weakened away. Problem is the race is won 99% of the time by a 2m4f horse and he is a 2m horse. Also he runs from the front but going to aim their offspring at this challenge.

Looks like ive got a top filly. Shes won oaks, french 1m4f group 1,king george. Shes just got to win the leger and the arc now. Bit gutted as ive got a top colt who would win the leger quite easy but dont want him to beat this filly. Hes won the irish derby but just failed in the english.

Shes nearly there. Won the Leger by 3 lengths, just gotta win the arc and melbourne cup which is going to be the toughest. I cant see her winning the gold cup but i'll give it a try.
