Speightstown (horse)[edit]
Speightstown in retirement at Winstar Farms
... that the racehorse Speightstown (pictured) missed two years due to injury, before staging a comeback in 2003 and being named American Champion Sprint Horse in 2004?
- ALT1:... that the racehorse Speightstown (pictured) sold for $2 million as a yearling?

This article is new enough and long enough. Approving ALT1 which has an inline citation. Striking ALT0 because it is not precisely correct, the source stating: "Speightstown injured a knee in the Amsterdam and was able to race only twice in the next two years". The image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral, and my spot checks failed to find any policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:11, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- Montanabw, Jlvsclrk, I came by to promote this but my nitpicky self noticed an unsourced statement. Could one of you please address this? Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 13:55, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Done, thanks! (It's a shame the inline citation wasn't properly worded. It should have said only two races in two-and-a-half years. Injured August 2001, returned for two races in May 2003, (which is the nearly two years used in alt0), then off again until March 2004. Oh well, that's sources for you!
