Spaniel (horse)

(

... that the winner of the 1831 Derby Stakes, Spaniel (pictured), was also the smallest horse in the race?

Age, length, referencing all OK. No close paraphrasing seen in sources. However, I cannot find the reference to Spaniel being the smallest horse in the Derby in the source given, on p. 276. Is it somewhere else? Yoninah (talk) 23:39, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

the relevant passage in on pages 76 to 77. I have made the ref clearer to indicate this. Tigerboy1966 00:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Great, thanks. Hook ref verified. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:47, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
