2b: I'll fix the links and refs stuff and get back here when I'm done with that. In the meantime, let me know your thoughts on my replies to the other things below. Montanabw (talk) 18:21, 23 December 2013 (UTC) Follow up: I think I fixed fn5 (if you meant the Sun-Sentinel article cited three times?) At least it's working for me...

 * Yes, it was the Sun-Sentinel article. The link still works, but when you run the external link check, it shows a 301 (moved permanently) message.  This normally occurs before a newspaper archives the article, and then the link goes dead.  When I see that on mine, I normally go to a web archive (Wayback Machine or similar) as the primary and show where the original was.  You don't have to do it for a GA, but it just keeps the link accessible.   GregJackP   Boomer!   22:15, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Worth a try; sometimes these articles go and hide behind a paywall, too.   Montanabw (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

2c: I can chop the bit about the Preakness, I was unable to find anything addressing her directly. The source at Preakness.com was two weeks before the 2011 race, though. So accurate as to how many before her... would it work better to say "only 13 women trainers had saddled a starter prior to the 2011 Preakness? It's your call...  Can't find anything like the Belmont guide, and Ritvo wasn't in the news much for the Preakness because the horse hadn't won.  Montanabw (talk) 18:21, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I would go with the "only 13 women ..." idea. The source directly supports that assertion.   GregJackP   Boomer!   22:15, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Tweaked. Will that work?   Montanabw (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

3a: Clearly, it was indirectly due to her heart condition, as one of the sources notes her "recurring fatigue" from 1998 or so on, and then the diagnosis in late 2000/early 2001, but I cannot find a source that says that in so many words (though I can look again). If you compare hr training record here (click on "All Years") to that ofher husband's here, clearly, she cut back and he picked up the slack from 1999 on. But, as you pointed out, I think we're venturing into SYNTH territory to speculate. Do you have suggestions as to where to go with this? I'm willing to do what I can.

 * We may just have to leave it out. It would have been nice if we could have found something on it, but you can only work with what has been published.  GregJackP   Boomer!   22:15, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I did a bit of minor rewording, does that help any?  Montanabw (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
