A "Little Known" Fact

I have taken out some material which was definitely OR: I think it's OK now. I have just stated the facts about Little Wonder's "brother". If you read between the lines of what is currently ref 17 [1] I think it's pretty clear what's being hinted at.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 02:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

The comments regarding Little Wonder's loss by a length to the filly Darkness seems like speculation. Practically, a 50/1 shot won a stakes, but in his next outing is pegged as 4/6 and comes second, only a novice handicapper would call the race a sham. To underline the reaction by racegoers and not putting it into perspective of what it means to run a horse race, is misleading. Also, organizational and grammatical problems throughout. Primary sources much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.99.109.89 (talk) 21:07, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"organizational and grammatical problems throughout"- can you give any examples? I am always anxious to improve the quality of articles. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 21:35, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
