 * Symbol question.svg ... that a stable worker was bribed to feed Middleton buckets of water, leaving the racehorse bloated, in a plan by bookmakers to prevent it from winning the 1825 Derby Stakes?


 * Will check shortly. Interesting hook. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:18, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Confirmed new article; long enough; meets article requirements; however, the cited fact is allowed to drink rather than feed and I would suggest changing the hook to:


 * ... that a stable worker was bribed to allow Middleton to drink buckets of water, leaving the racehorse bloated, in a plan by bookmakers to prevent it from winning the 1825 Derby Stakes?
 * that is the only problem. I wonder if someone else could check I've reviewed correctly; I haven't done so since the system changed. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:57, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review. You're right, Grandiose.  "Feed" is not the best word, as it may be interpreted as "force-feeding".  Let's use either your hook or "...give Middleton too much water to drink ...". Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 02:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Looks good now. Interesting hook; AGF on offline sourcing. Use one of the two reworded versions of the hook. --Orlady (talk) 15:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
