Pot8Os
[edit]You can't have a stallion in a tail-female line. Barbelle's g-gmother was by Pot8Os (240 years on, and still the stupidest ever horse name), but that is not the same thing. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 20:14, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Race record
[edit]Questionable 3yo record. Walkovers count as wins. Forfeited matches usually don't. Record should be six/six at 3.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 22:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Just to clarify. In a walk-over the race is held to have taken place. It just so happens that there is only one runner. In a match the forfeit being paid means that the match does not take place. A bit of a fine point, but I hope it's clear. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 14:12, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Just noticed that TFD's winning time in the 1849 Leger would have got him third place in the 2005 race! Tigerboy1966 (talk) 14:40, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
