Talk:Cardinal Beaufort (horse)

A fact from Cardinal Beaufort (horse) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 February 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the racehorses Assassin, Hannibal, Cardinal Beaufort, Election and Lap-dog won the Derby Stakes in 1782, 1804, 1805, 1807 and 1826 respectively, making the 3rd Earl of Egremont the first-ever owner of five Derby winners?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lap-dog.

Owners[edit]

I'm not sure if Cardinal Beaufort was actually sold to seven people in his later career or was just racing on a "gentleman's agreement" (racing for someone else in name only) in some of these races. If he truly was traded that many times, no wonder he died early. Froggerlaura (talk) 15:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quality/Class[edit]

Sorry to disagree, but I can't see this as START class article. Appropriate length, appropriate topic, well-referenced, well-written. That's a C at least. Tigerboy1966 20:58, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I usually do "start" class when I first put them out until I finish the article. Definitely C class now, Thanks! Like the new sig by the way. Froggerlaura (talk) 15:22, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
