Talk:Robert the Devil (horse)

Breeder?
Would like to find more details on who bred him- probably Brewer, but one source mentions a "Mr Barclay". Also, where was Blanton's stable? Robert (his name was often abbreviated thus) emerged from a pretty shadowy corner of the racing world.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 12:34, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Stud Book lists C. Brewer as his breeder . A.C. Barclay was the owner of his sire, Bertram. Charles Blanton was from Newmarket, so his stable might have been there . Froggerlaura (talk) 02:48, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, Upper Station Road, Newmarket . Froggerlaura (talk) 02:50, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Your research skills are much appreciated.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 04:29, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Missing win
This source says 11 wins in 15 starts. So I'm missing one. Maybe a walkover. Check Newmarket Spring meeting. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:58, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand.(I'm sorry my poor English.)

 * Typo?
 * #1880: three-year-old season#Summer
 * "to join the leader in the closing strages "
 * maybe "to join the leader in the closing stages "


 * #Background
 * "and was trained by Charles Blanton[6]"
 * I think that this cite SCINTILLATIONS doesn't mention the trainer.--㭍月例祭 (talk) 08:52, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
