 * Symbol question.svg The following has been checked in this review by Matty.007
 * QPQ needed
 * Article created by Rambling on 16 April 2014, and has 2505 characters of readable prose, however:
 * The 649 characters of 'Background' do not count towards the 1500 due to being the same as articles that have previously appeared in DYK, the article still passes with 1856 characters
 * Every paragraph is sourced (please source At the finish, following tradition, the Cambridge crew threw their cox, Kenelm Richardson, into the water in celebration in the first para of 'Race description')
 * Dup det found no copyvios on the spotchecked couple of refs
 * Article is neutral
 * Hook is interesting, and well sourced. Just a few issues. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  13:55, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
