The Racehorses Logic Puzzle

Twelve horses were entered into the 2000m Grand-Town Derby. Three were from the Scottish Ahcood Wynn stables - Ahcood Trian Wynn, Ahcood Mibee Wynn and Ahcood Hopeti Wynn, - each of which is a different color, grey, black and brown, but not respectively. coincidentally, the names of their jockeys were Grey, Black and Brown but none rode that colored horse. All twelve horses finished the race in some order but only three can fill the major placings and, as it happened, the Ahcood Wynn runners took the honors. By the 600m mark it could be anybody's race with all in contention but, come the 400m mark, jockey Grey's black mount took the lead and was closely followed by the Black and grey horses. From this information and the following clues, for each horse, can you determine its color, its jockey and the order in which it finished in the Derby?

  • 1. The horse that was running second at 400m finished in third position but was not Ahcood Trian Wynn.
  • 2. Ahcood Mibee Wynn was not the third horse at 400m and was ridden by jockey Black.
  • 3. Jocky Brown beat Ahcood Trian Wynn in a photo-finish at the post.
  • 4. The brown horse finished in third position.
