Sale price[edit]

Tiny discrepancy: I have his sale price from R. Ladbroke to Egremont as 510 guineas in this print source.(Mortimer, Roger; Onslow, Richard; Willett, Peter (1978). Biographical Encyclopedia of British Flat Racing. Macdonald and Jane’s. ISBN 0-354-08536-0.).

Also do you have any idea what T.Y.C. stands for- the initials appear in lots of race descriptions and I've been racking my brains in vain. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 23:20, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At Newmarket, TYC stood for the two-years-old course (5 furlongs and 136 yards). I'll add the other sale price. Froggerlaura (talk)

Grandsire?[edit]

The article says his grandsire was Eclipse, but the info box gives it as Pot-8-os. Which is correct? Alexandriensis (talk) 07:51, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
