To-Agori-Mou
[edit]- ... that jockey Greville Starkey made a two-fingered gesture to rival Pat Eddery when To-Agori-Mou won the 1981 St. James's Palace Stakes?

Creation date checks out. Prose is over 1500 characters. Hook is interesting, under 200 characters, verified by citation and sourced to The Glasgow Herald. This isn't a self-nom, so QPQ is not required. I have wikilinked St. James's Palace Stakes in the hook, if that's okay. I also think it might be worth mentioning in the article exactly what repercussions Starkey experienced as a result of making this gesture – the source says that he received a "severe warning" from the stewards. All in all, good to go. Great work! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 15:55, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
