  • ALT1:... that when the American colt Black Tarquin won the 1948 St. Leger Stakes, earning £15,269, it was the largest prize ever awarded in British horse-racing?

  • Article checks out for DYK. Only comment is that the published works in the citations could do with being in italics (i.e. Sunday Times vs Sunday Times) - however that's no reason to keep it off DYK, so its all good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 19:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
