Crusader (horse)

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that after winning the 1926 Belmont Stakes, Crusader set a course record at the Dwyer Stakes that year, and later became the first horse to win the Suburban Handicap two years in a row?

• ALT1:... that Crusader defeated Sarazen and others by at least ten lengths to capture the Havre de Grace Handicap in 1926?
• Comment: ALT1 is an attempt in wordplay on Saracen, but the hook probably needs some spicing up. --PFHLai (talk) 15:25, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

• This is a five fold expansion. It is both long enough and new enough. I prefer the original hook which is well sourced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:47, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
