Bruni (horse)[edit]

(

)

... that the racehorse Bruni won the 1975 British Classic St. Leger Stakes by ten lengths?

Comment: ~~This article could use more footnotes, but otherwise should be good enough to get DYK'ed. --PFHLai (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2012 (UTC)~~ Tigerboy has put in more footnotes. So I'm happy. --PFHLai (talk) 16:04, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Everything checks out in terms of hook, length, date, prose etc. However, I think a few more footnotes are needed: there is uncited material at the end of the 'Background' paragraph, the last paragraph of 1975, and the second paragraph of 1977. Once this material is cited, this would be good to go. Moswento ^talky 17:04, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

And I thought DYK only requires a minimum of 1 footnote per paragraph? --PFHLai (talk) 09:59, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

My understanding has always been that all of the content needs to be referenced. Sometimes this requires more than one footnote per paragraph.--Carabinieri (talk) 11:23, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

When I skimmed the article, one passage (but only one) stood out as content that needs sourcing and appeared to be completely unsourced:

"At St George's insistence, Bruni ran again that autumn as he was sent to Paris to contest the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He led briefly in the straight but faded in the closing stages to finish seventh to Star Appeal." --Orlady (talk) 05:08, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

That passage is now cited. Froggerlaura ^ribbit 01:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
