Fatalities[edit]

Can someone please add a source to the 11 horses that were killed in the 2006 Cheltenham Festival? Wonderwizard (talk) 12:21 August 2 2012 (UTC)

I've found a source for nine fatalities in 2006. I'll edit the article later. --Bcp67 (talk) 11:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First female jockey winner[edit]

The Glasgow Herald reference says Gee Armytage was the first female jockey to beat professionals at the festival but it doesn't say she was the first female jockey to win a race at the festival. The first female jockey to win a race at the festival was Caroline Beasley. It was the 1983 Foxhunters Chase, which is a race for amateur jockeys.

Thanks for updating the article, I've fixed the horse's name and added a reference for the fact.--Bcp67 (talk) 07:54, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
