- ... that a poll carried out by The Sporting Times ranked Wheel of Fortune and Achievement the fifth and sixth highest-rated fillies or mares amongst all British racehorses of the 19th century?

Age, length of both articles OK. Well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref AGF. However, a number of statements in Wheel of Fortune are unsourced: see end of first paragraph under Background, last line under 1879 season, first 2 lines under Stud career.

- Re-arranged one reference and added two new ones. Sale price was actually 5,500 gns, not 5,000. Took out the retirement sentence from 1879 season: there was no official "retirement", she just didn't run any more. Hope this is OK. Tigerboy1966 00:24, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
