The Sport of Kings Kingdom Come: Deliverance Quest
Group: Side Quests
Location: Neuhof
To start this quest you should talk to Zora. You must first complete Ginger in a Pickle quest.
The Lord of Talmberg has stopped buying his horses from the Neuhof stud farm. Coming in the wake of the recent brutal raid on the farm, during which several horses were slaughtered, this is a severe blow for Widow Zora, who lost her husband, Smil the chief groom, in the attack and is struggling to keep the stud running. She has asked me if I would put in a word for her with Sir Divish of Talmberg.

1. Saddle Zora's dappled grey.
I must find Zora's dappled grey and head to Talmberg.
2. Bring the dapple grey horse to the Talmberg stables.
To Talmberg! I should leave the stallion in the stables in the inner bailey.
You can use fast travel.
Zora gave me her fastest stallion, a dappled grey, to prove her stud farm could still supply the best horses. I rode him to Talmberg and stabled him there in the inner bailey.
2.1. Get back on Zora's dappled grey.
I've got to go back to Zora's dappled grey. There's no point in my going to Talmberg without him.
3. Talk to Sir Divish about the race.
And now I should try to find out from Sir Divish why he stopped buying Neuhof horses.
Sir Divish told me he had stopped buying his horses from the Neuhof stud because he didn't think it would recover from the attack with a woman in charge. But in the end he took heed of my objections and decided to hold a race. He said he would buy his steeds from the stable that supplies the winning horse. It seems I will be the Neuhof stud farm's champion.
4. Talk to the stablemaster.
The Talmberg stablemaster should fill me in on the race's details.
He will explain the rules of the race to you.
The groom told me the details of the Talmberg course. It's to be a ribbon race. The ribbons mark five points the riders have to pass in the correct order, but they can take any route they like between those points, which will have a decisive influence on who finishes fastest.
5. Go to the Talmberg gate at noon tomorrow on Zora's dappled grey.
The race is starting at noon tomorrow in front of the Talmberg town gate. The most important thing is for me to go there on Zora's dappled grey. Otherwise, it will be all for naught.

Try as I might, I just couldn't win the Talmberg race.
9. Go to see Divish.
If all the other participants in the race have finished it before you.
The race most likely finished long ago. Zora won't be happy. In any case, I'd better go see Sir Divish first so he knows I didn't end up lying in some ditch with a broken leg.
Unfortunately I didn't do very well in the race. At least I reported to Sir Divish and he was glad I was safe and sound.
10. Speak to Divish.
What a race! Divish will certainly want to speak with me.
10.1. Speak with Divish.
After the race I spoke to Sir Divish. Thanks to my victory, he decided he would once again buy horses exclusively from Neuhof. Great news for Zora!
10.2. Speak with Divish.
I spoke to Sir Divish after the race. Thanks to my good showing in it, he decided he'd buy half his horses from Uzhitz and half from Neuhof. It's not a bad result, but neither is it what Zora was hoping for.
10.3. Speak with Divish.
I spoke to Sir Divish after the race. My horsemanship didn't make much of an impression on him, so he'll keep buying his horses from Uzhitz. That's not good news for Zora.
11. Tell Zora how the race ended.
I need to bring the dappled grey back to Zora and tell her how I fared.
11.1. Tell Zora how the race ended.
I brought Zora's dappled grey back to her. Zora was delighted that thanks to me Sir Divish will buy his horses from her.
One of the prizes you will receive for taking the first place should be a new saddle (not always, bug?).
11.2. Tell Zora how the race ended.
I brought Zora's dappled grey back to her. She was glad that Sir Divish would be buying at least some of his horses from her.
11.3. Tell Zora how the race ended.
I brought Zora's dappled grey back to her and admitted losing the Talmberg race, which certainly didn't make her happy.
