Whalebone (horse) edit

(

... that 1810 Derby winner Whalebone (pictured) had a 16-year career as a stud, which ended with a fatal injury sustained while covering a mare?

Whalebone got hurt on 5th Feb., 1831, and died of hemorrhage the following day. Can we have this hook appear on MainPage on either 5th or 6th Feb., 2012, please? Thanks in advance. --PFHLai (talk) 00:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Well-written and referenced, interesting stuff. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 00:32, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Just one thing (for now): I can't find any examples of hyphenated "male-line". Is this common horse parlance? Drmies (talk) 00:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

It's usually tail-male. I'll change/link it. Froggerlaura (talk) 03:13, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
