In "Race": Earlier, Oxford won the 61st Women's Boat Race by half-a-length in a time of 5 minutes 54 seconds. In lead: Cambridge won the Women's Boat Race. Infobox affirms Cambridge too.
Reference three the publisher is "The Boat Race Company Ltd." while the extended "The Boat Race Company Limited" is used throughout similar references.
As a final note I'd say to slow down a bit and be careful to ensure the infobox and text both display the correct information, just be pedantic. Otherwise, a great article. Much smoother. Seattle (talk) 14:27, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
@Seattle: Agreed, I'll do my best to re-check all this things before any further nominations. Sorry to have wasted your time on those trivialities. Thanks for the review. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Certainly not a waste of time. I re-read and offer the following: the Boat Race, won the race by five lengths. The race.... A reword here would work well to avoid so many instances of "race" in such a short period. Otherwise, it looks good. Thanks for the prompt responses. Seattle (talk) 17:54, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
