Fatalities

Can someone please add a source to the 11 horses that were killed in the 2006 Cheltenham Festival? Wonderwizard (talk) 12:21 August 2 2012 (UTC)

I've found a source for nine fatalities in 2006. I'll edit the article later. --Bcp67 (talk) 11:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First female jockey winner

The Glasgow Herald reference says Gee Armytage was the first female jockey to beat professionals at the festival but it doesn't say she was the first female jockey to win a race at the festival. The first female jockey to win a race at the festival was Caroline Beasley. It was the 1983 Foxhunters Chase, which is a race for amateur jockeys.

Thanks for updating the article, I've fixed the horse's name and added a reference for the fact.--Bcp67 (talk) 07:54, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
