 * ... that after winning the 1796 Derby Stakes, the Thoroughbred Didelot failed to win again the rest of his racing career, and was subsequently sent to Russia?


 * Symbol question.svg Article newness and length check out. Article is compliant with all policies.  However, the proposed hook is not cited by a single reference, but rather is a summary of most the article. It would be best to pick a single fact for the hook. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * While I very much disagree that "It would be best to pick a single fact for the hook", I can look into the article and see if I can come up with another hook. --PFHLai (talk) 03:11, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'll pass this with the hook as-is, since ThaddeusB's comment seems to me to be a misunderstanding of the rules. They require that the hook should "include a definite fact that is mentioned in the article", not that the hook should be a single definite fact. I count at least two definite facts included in this hook, that Didelot won the 1796 Derby Stakes and was sent to Russia. That meets the criteria. Prioryman (talk) 00:55, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
