1874 Champion?
I know this was raised in the GA review, but I'm very uncomfortable about those awards. The Tb Heritage site says "There were no championships awarded in any official manner until 1936" and then lists "winners" for the previous sixty years! Any idea how this list was arrived at, or when? What does the Hewitt book say? I raised the same point a few days ago on the American Champion Older Male Horse page.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 01:33, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Not the slightest clue, but Hewitt definitely says he was awarded the title. It's just a bald "1874 Champion Older Male" or whatever the title is (I'm too lazy tonight to look at the article directly, but Hewitt's listings are all the same - just list the awards, with no explanatory text).
