Racing
[edit]Copenhagen wasn't such a bad racehorse: he beat the St Leger winner Ambrosio at "weight-for-age" at Huntingdon. Tigerboy1966 01:14, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Nic Fiddian-Green
[edit]There's a sculpture of the horse, by Nic Fiddian-Green, at Wellington College, Berkshire. I'm after a picture of it, for the artist's biography, Can anyone help, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:57, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Age of the turkey oak
[edit]It's not helpful to say that the Turkey Oak is 169 years old - is that now, at the time the article was drafted, or when the horse died? I thought I'd comment here first, but it seems like a good idea to delete this unreliable piece of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.162.107.11 (talk) 22:47, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- It was planted in 1843 after the horse died, as stated in the article. The age of the tree auto updates now based on the year. Froggerlaura ribbit 04:10, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
