Herringbone (horse)[edit]

(

... that in 1943, Herringbone won the 1,000 Guineas Stakes by a neck and beat the same filly to win the St. Leger Stakes by a head?

Looks good to me. Hook is interesting enough and cited, article is well over long enough, new enough at the time of the nomination, and well-cited. The only comment I have is that I'd prefer to have a citation for the first paragraph of the 2-year-old season, since it quotes specific numbers without a citation, but I wouldn't consider that a dealbreaker, I think.
