The reference to Balmerino running in the Coppa D'Ora may be incorrect. In 'The Great Decade of New Zealand Racing 1970-1980' by Jack Glengarry published in 1983 (William Collins Publishers Ltd, PO Box 1 Auckland) no mention is made of the Coppa D'Ora in the Racing Record of the horse (46 starts are listed at pages 200-201) or in the narrative. I note that according to another Wikipedia site on Italian races that have group status the Coppa d'Ora was stated as being a Group 1 race at any time. It seems likely that at the relevant time (circa 1977) it would have been a lesser class of race. According to Glengarry's narrative at page 195 the horse was relegated from first to second in the Gran Premio del Jockey Club in Italy (run 16/10/1977) and thus the Wikipedia article may be incorrect on this point too.

It seems the 'Gran Premio del Jockey Club' may also be known as the 'Coppa D'Ora' and I have seen one internet reference to it being referred to as the 'Gran Premio del Jockey Club - Coppa D'Ora'. The article should be edited accordingly and the link to and the page titled 'Coppa D'Ora' should be deleted unless it is to cross refrence back to the page titled Gran Premio del Jockey Club'.T7400 (talk) 04:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
