Mares edit

"The 1984 winner, Dawn Run, was the first mare to win the Champion Hurdle". This is incorrect and I'm going to change it. African Sister was the first mare to win (there's a clue in the name). I have seen this error on a couple of other sites who are presumably using wikipedia as a reference. Perhaps the error comes from a reference to Dawn Run being the first horse to win the race with a mare's allowance- back in the days of African Sister it was strictly level weights!

Looks like one of those "facts" which becomes ingrained through repetition. As you say, the name does give it away a bit!--Bcp67 (talk) 05:36, 15 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Missing times edit

Can anyone find the time records for the 1970-1986 renewals and update the list ? Thanks, Maok3 (talk) 08:17, 22 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I started doing times a while back but forgot all about finishing it! Will sort it out this weekend. --Bcp67 (talk) 12:26, 22 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Nice! I presumed you couldnt find the rest. Ive seen today that GC records are complete but the CH is still missing some :-) Hopefully you manage to find them, Cheers Maok3 (talk) 17:35, 22 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
I should have them all in a book here, easy enough to do! --Bcp67 (talk) 17:55, 22 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
