Most sources are not independent, which is fine for verifying winners etc. but not for establishing notability. First reference does not make any mention of the subject by its submitted name.

Hi, I understand what is required check out the History on the Turnbull Stakes, Cantala Stakes & Newmarket Handicap all major races in Australia amongst others that should never have been approved.

The Fernhill Handicap today is minor listed Name race only added to major meeting. Have done the heavy lifting maybe someone would like to expand the history further for approval.

If you have any images available for Toparoa page that would be great. I’m not so good with images on here. Sunline02 (talk) 11:37, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Making a start on the bookmaker/owner Sol Green, and getting some insights from an interesting Truth article which describes his father Yudah as being some kind of bouncer at betting enclosures in England. Would there have been a term for such a position? Doug butler (talk) 00:43, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the helpful reply. Doug butler (talk) 02:24, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gusfriend was:

This submission is not adequately supported by

Referencing for beginners and Citing sources

.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Almost all of the references are from racing publications, etc. which makes notability harder to show than if there was some use of sources like this one from the Sydney Morning Herald (I just searched SMH carrington stakes). There are also a lot more interesting Trove articles such as this one from 1902 noting that the calling of the card was announced in the newspaper ahead of time.

It appears solicitor Horatio Huntly Hoskins became owner of Nimblefoot in 1870. I have a great deal of trouble understanding the article, but it seems to say Hoskins was the owner at the time of the Cup. Another article says she raced under the colours of one T. Bailey. I find this all rather fascinating, but have no knowledge of racing and no references apart from Trove. Can you shed any light? Doug butler (talk) 18:22, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doug, I would concentrate on the year 1870 and before as I have found that new owner T.Bailey is listed on multiple VRC nominations for Nimblefoot on 19th October 1870 well before Hotham Handicap & Melbourne Cup. Back then the owner was listed in nominations not trainer so I am assuming Bailey has purchased Nimblefoot under this situation with transfer of ownership documentation and approval from the VRC in time for carnival. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/5836431?searchTerm=nimblefoot%20t%20bailey. Hope this helps. LESHAIGH (talk) 01:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As the "go-to man" for this self-confessed racing ignoramus, could you please check my edit to racecard. Thanks. Doug butler (talk) 23:13, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doug, The word racecard I beleive originated in the U.K & still used today.Named racecards (Folded & printed both sides no staples) in Melbourne 1850's - early 1900's.Check the Commons 'Racebooks' my uploads 1902 - 1954 yes they provide good information but not what I call information on previous starts (Prior Form).Checked my racebook collection & 1979 in Melbourne was the year when Racebooks first started to contain previous 3 Starts (prior Form). Australian Newspapers and dedicated Form publication The Sportsman was the go to guide for serious punters. Major headings in article Race & Individual horses contain current modern day abbreviation data. Hope this helps.Thanks Les LESHAIGH (talk) 01:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm awestruck! I've put stuff on Commons but nothing like that quantity and quality. Now I'm inspired to upload some Australian radio history ephemera. But back to the redirect edit, I gather it's more right than wrong. Doug butler (talk) 02:20, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doug,Confirmed more right.Wikipedia has been a great way to share my Horse photos & Racebooks with like minded people.Copyright max limit 1955 has prevented me from uploading much more. Cheers Les. LESHAIGH (talk) 02:33, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LH. Do you have anything on this subject? I've created a redirect to Jockey Club and a mention of the term on that article. A bit bold for a sporting ignoramus I know. Doug butler (talk) 22:05, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doug, Horse racing in Australia and the associated Champion horses & Major Group race pages are my only expertise on Wikipedia.Have a Horse racing background so help on this subject anytime no problem. Thanks Les LESHAIGH (talk) 00:12, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
