Creation of this Article
[edit]I created this article because I saw it on Most Wanted Articles. Can someone help out, please? SriMesh | talk 03:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- Nice work getting it started, I will try do some clean up in the next couple of days. --ukexpat 15:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you...I see he was a very busy gentleman, and even all the wins, and efforts he made are not online yet. Nor are all his connections with training for the royal family. I think I am done with this beginning, it was awesome learning about him and his illustrious life. Other British horse trainers have a neat chart of Major wins with flags.

Balding's wife is NOT 'Lady Emma'
[edit]Her aristocratic connection is as follows: her mother, Priscilla Hastings, was the daughter of the daughter of the 17th Earl of Derby.
This connection does not entitle Emma Balding to the courtesy title 'Lady Emma'; there is a suggestion that she is (or was before marriage) entitled to the courtesy title 'the Hon': this has not been verified.

- I'm sure you are right, the only thing I can think of is Ian Balding is an LVO- would that entitle his wife to a title? Tigerboy1966 00:56, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- the Daily Telegraph calls her Lady Emma Balding [1] Tigerboy1966 01:00, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- Possibly covered by this; Courtesy_titles in the United_Kingdom#Indirect inheritance. Emma's brother, William Hastings-Bass, succeeded a cousin to the earldom of Huntingdon and his siblings may have the right to a courtesy title as if they were the children of an earl themselves - the "Honourable" for men and "Lady" for women. --Bcp67 (talk) 13:19, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

The purse won was €1,600,000
[edit]This must be an error. Races didn't have such gigantic prizes in 1971. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.95.135.190 (talk) 14:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- The Euro didn't exist either! Possibly a comparison with the race's value at a later date? --Bcp67 (talk) 13:26, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
1.6 million French francs might be credible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.57.253.190 (talk) 22:16, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Mill Reef also brought in victory at St Leger
[edit]Mill Reef didn't race in the St Leger. I think this whole article needs to be re-written with some basic fact-checking included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.95.135.190 (talk) 14:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Lochsong ran the 7 furlongs (1,408 m) at Goodwood Racecourse in 1:00.20.
[edit]Lochsong never won the Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood. A time of 1:00.20 for 7 furlongs is impossible. The Oak Tree Stakes of 1994 were be won indeed by an Ian Balding-trained-filly - her name was Blue Siren. Her winning-time was 1:26.4 min. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parlo1956 (talk • contribs) 16:23, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
- The whole article is full of errors and maybe beyond redemption! Lochsong's win in that time in 1993 was in the King George Stakes.--Bcp67 (talk) 13:21, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
