Paris (horse), Ditto (horse), Archduke (horse), Sir Harry[edit]

... that the racehorse Sir Peter Teazle, who won in 1787, was the first winner of the Derby Stakes to sire another winning colt of the race: Sir Harry in 1798, Archduke in 1799, Ditto in 1803 and Paris in 1806?

Comment: A 5x DYK opportunity: Sir Peter also sired Traflagar (horse), who placed second in the 1806 Derby. May I pre-emptively nominate this yet-to-exist horse bio? :-) --PFHLai (talk) 15:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC No one seems interested. So, never mind. --PFHLai (talk) 01:44, 19 February 2012 (UTC))

~~How about this sextuple DYK hook:~~

ALT4: ... that after the stud Highflyer had sired three winners of the Derby Stakes in Noble (1786), Sir Peter Teazle (1787) and Skyscraper (1789), Sir Peter then sired four more Derby-winners in Sir Harry(1798), Archduke (1799), Ditto (1803) and Paris(1806)?

~~(Pls see also Template:Did you know nominations/Skyscraper (horse) below.) --PFHLai (talk) 22:14, 14 February 2012 (UTC)~~ "Noble" got DYK'ed on his own yesterday, and the author of "Skyscraper" does not seem to be interested in compound hooks. So, never mind. --PFHLai (talk) 01:44, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

All four articles were created and expanded to above 1500 characters within five days, are well sourced, show no problems requiring attention. However, the hook is over 200 characters. I suggest removing the years...
ALT: ... that the racehorse Sir Peter Teazle was the first winner of the Derby Stakes to sire another winning colt of the race, siring Sir Harry, Archduke, Ditto and Paris?

or this...

ALT: ... that Derby Stakes-winning racehorses Sir Harry, Archduke, Ditto and Paris were sired by Sir Peter Teazle, also a Derby Stakes winner?

Thanks for the reviews and the suggested ALT hooks. I'm okay with both ALTs. I don't mind leaving out the years. I put them in the hook to show a time gap as I find it interesting that Sir Peter was already rather old when he began siring the second generation of Derby winners. I ignored the 200 char. limit as the limit is meant for single DYK hooks, not 4-in-1 hooks. --PFHLai (talk) 03:57, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
