Copenhagen wasn't such a bad racehorse: he beat the St Leger winner Ambrosio at "weight-for-age" at Huntingdon.  Tigerboy1966  01:14, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

striking: wrong "Ambrosio".  Tigerboy1966  01:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

There's a sculpture of the horse, by Nic Fiddian-Green, at Wellington College, Berkshire. I'm after a picture of it, for the artist's biography, Can anyone help, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:57, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Age of the turkey oak

edit

It's not helpful to say that the Turkey Oak is 169 years old - is that now, at the time the article was drafted, or when the horse died? I thought I'd comment here first, but it seems like a good idea to delete this unreliable piece of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.162.107.11 (talk) 22:47, 18 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

It was planted in 1843 after the horse died, as stated in the article. The age of the tree auto updates now based on the year. Froggerlaura ribbit 04:10, 19 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
