1979[edit]

The article mentioned that during TOW's period off the course post-Derby his form was franked by (amongst other things) Young Generation winning the Lockinge. I've always known the Lockinge to be run in May - was it a mid-summer race at the time? --Bcp67 (talk) 21:55, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lockinge was run in late May so it was after the Guineas, but before the Derby. I will rephrase it. I did a bit of a double take when reading it as I've got used to thinking of the race as a 4yo+ event. Tigerboy1966 23:28, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
