    54ac - 51ac-trained horse runs on it won (13) - unaccompanied
    92dn - sailing a zig-zag course (6) - tacked
    25ac - he's gone home to mexico - salcido

    last one for me: 10 down: Man with a dream to win in two olympic games in the same year S _ _ T _

    I think Smith of the Black Panthers salute from 1968, but have no reason to think why. Anyone get this one?

    All done now.
    75 dn: OHARA left Spurs for Wolves
    and 14ac: is Melanie WALKER is Olympic and World Champion at 400 metres hurdles.
    So she's not walker, she's a hurdler.
