Only one minor point outstanding - the final sentence of background isn't cited. Miyagawa (talk) 20:05, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Miyagawa. I've left a note on Tigerboy's talkpage about this, and hopefully he can provide the ref soon. BTW, I will most likely propose a new hook within a day. It's worth noting who got beaten by ¾ of a length, methinks.... --PFHLai (talk) 22:41, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

ALT1... that Camelot's bid to win this year's Triple Crown of English Thoroughbred Racing failed when he was beaten by three quarters of a length at the St Leger Stakes by Encke, a 25/1 longshot? --PFHLai (talk) 03:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Many edits later on the 19th; check to see whether citations are adequate and any other reviewing that would be useful, since original review was very non-specific. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:52, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Article now meets size and sourcing requirements for DYK. Created as dated, this one is good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 16:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
