Following in the wake of the success of The Boat Race 2012, this one is next in my pipeline for FAC. A successful GA, this has some interesting facets to it and I'd like some other non-involved eyes to give it a look over.

Race[edit]

"Oxford were strong pre-race favourites, having won 16 of the last 17 races." - third mention of last 17 races. Sentence is not needed.
It's only the second mention. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:36, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from EdwardH[edit]

"for the first time in the history of the race" could just be shortened to "for the first time"
"Cambridge prevented Oxford making it seventeen wins" doesn't sound right to me. Would "Cambridge prevented Oxford winning seventeen times" be better?
Images lack alt-text.

Good luck on the featured article nomination!
