• If it's a record time, can you mention it in the lead?
  • I thought I had : "... won by three lengths in a record time..." The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
    • The time itself, 16 minutes and 19 seconds. Seattle (talk) 18:23, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
      • Mentioned actual time. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:41, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
• Can you find/mention the largest disparity in history?
  • Not easily. The source I use claims the "second-largest disparity". The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
• Can you mention the previous year of the record?
  • Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
• I think tying the record in the reserve race is worth a mention in the lead.
  • Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
• Does any reference mention weather conditions?
  • Done, to an extent. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

OK. Seattle (talk) 17:31, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
