[edit] Birth / Death
I was just curious -- we have Category:XXXX births and... does this belong? It's not typical that we have animal's births and deaths but since we do here do we add it? I just found that to be a humorous, yet legitimate question. gren 01:49, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)]
I've put his birth in under May 23 Events, with explanatory note Martyn Smith 16:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there some way to get rid of the vandalism at the top of this article? I know this article is a current featured article so it may be difficult.
What are you referring to??? Wahkeenah 03:47, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Maybe you meant the weird comment about the Germans, which someone else fixed. Here's a novel idea: How about FREEZING the articles they want to "feature", to keep the grubby paws of the Great Unwashed from tinkering with them. Wahkeenah 03:51, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] How much money is that?
Dollar amounts of race prizes from the 1930s are mentioned in the article. Are these in 1930s dollars, or in 2005 dollars? If someone knows, it'd be worth a mention. Under the assumption that they're 1930s dollars, it'd be nice to have parenthetical comments on the 2005 value, if someone knows how to do that. Zashaw 28 June 2005 05:34 (UTC)
Converting US dollar amounts to "current" dollar amounts can be done using this tool: Inflation Calculator 1800 - 2005 --Kellsboro Jack 03:12, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions
I see the horse was only 14 when he died. That's young, what was the cause of death?
What is meant by a *bay* colt? Martyn Smith 16:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Follow the link next to colour in the info box it links to Bay (horse)--rogerd 18:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I have a question. Why did Wikipedia remove all the links to the Unofficial Thoroughbred Hall of Fame, including the one on this article, when this website was a reference for many horse racing related articles? It accused me of spamming by adding the link to Alydar, and now all mentions of the site are gone. Alydar was the first one I added myself, and I did so because the link was relevant, on topic, contained further information on the specific topic not provided in the article, and did not offer any products for sale. How are links selling baseball caps not spam, but a relevant link is?
