Mündig edit

Mundig, winner of 1835 Epsom Derby. Painting by John Frederick Herring Sr

  • ... that Mündig (pictured) never competed on a racecourse prior to winning the 1835 Derby Stakes, and bookmakers were misled to lengthen his odds based on false information fed to them by his trainer?

  • Date, length, sources, hook and image are all fine. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Same question as an above nom, what makes Bloodlines.net reliable? Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:49, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
  • The Bloodlines.net site may or may not be reliable but the information for the hook and the rest of the article is not from there but comes from contemporaneous sources. Horse information dating back nearly two centuries is probably sparse and difficult to verify. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:10, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Considering it is only used to support the family tree, I guess it is okay. However, if the reference is to be commonly used it would be nice to have indication of its reliability. Tick based on previous review. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
