Part A) The Board agreed to pay £100 as part of the prize money offered for what race, run at which Race Course?
Part B) Was it ever won by any of the LNER's "namers".

Possibly but there is no mention of it in the 1929 minutes. I've found out that I've also been and still am apparently a race horse.

This race was run at this course's first October meeting in 1929.

The race was a "handicap" and was run at Newmarket.

It was the Great Eastern Handicap Race so did any of the LNER's "namers" win it ?
