Help please!
1. On which British horse racing course can you watch the 'Stakes' a race for two-year olds first held during the 18th Century named after a month of the year?
2. What six-letter name was shared by a 20th century American screenwriter, producer and director for screenplays for Tracy and Hepburn comedy films; and a 20th century actress who is arguably best-remembered for her role as a stalwart British wife and mother enduring the travails of World War II?
3. Two-word Latin term, meaning 'marvel of the world' first applied to a 12th-13th century German Emperor?
Number two is Garson, for Greer Garson and Garson Kanin.
...it may help

1. I think Ascot - October Stakes, but I could be wrong...

Thanks smorgs, I managed to get Garson but still working on the racecourse. Many thanks for your answer.
Stupor Mundi. (Marvel of the world).
Many thanks Lord Ellpus, had the mundi bit but nothing else. Many thanks indeed.
You're welcome, upandrunning.
Hope you win.
You might have a look at the Goodwood racecourse fixtures. This is an old course and more relevant perhaps is associated, I think, with the March family
