TbH says 18 wins. I counted 17. Obviously an outstanding horse whichever. One of the good things about this project is stumbling on forgotten "greats" like Election. I added a couple of sentences to stud career which more or less repeat the lead, but I felt they were needed in this section as well. Tigerboy1966 00:48, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! My internet has been on the blink for a few days now (yard keeps flooding). Trying to get to Gustavus. Will try to track down the extra win (wo maybe?). Froggerlaura (talk) 01:11, 4 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Good luck with Gustavus. I am bracing myself to attempt "The Fidget colt". I am trying to work up a rough policy for the race records of horses in the walkover/match/forfeit era. Tigerboy1966 12:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
