Popularity[edit]

Funny thing. TFD was the better horse, but Voltigeur was the popular one- he seems to have been the "People's horse". Tigerboy1966 (talk) 14:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Poem[edit]

1850 Doncaster Cup: The ring stands pale Forth speeds the tale, which many a doubt inspires/ From east to west, from north to south, it glances o'er the wires/ From Richmond unto Middleham this message quickly passed/ Your conqueror of conquerors has bowed his head at last.[2]
