Looking for references for Queally having studied for the priesthood at Maynooth. I'm finding a few mentions, but a lot of them seem to be copied from wp and no reliable, independent sources. Tagging. Just noticed that it refers to "Cannon" Sharkey, which makes it sound even more dodgy. Tigerboy1966  21:43, 21 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Who says that this jockey is "best known" simply for being the jockey of Frankel? Where is the evidence in the text for this? It should not read that way until the text verifies that point Billsmith60 (talk) 14:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

"Best known for" is not a POV phrase. It is just saying what the most significant achievement(s) of a person is (are). Queally's partnership with Frankel was the height of his career. Almost half the text is about his races on Frankel (26 lines as against 29 for everything else) - that alone verifies its importance. "Often known as" sounds odd - what is he known for the rest of the time? Southdevonian (talk) 16:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
