Trainer

My much-used print source, the Biographical Encyclopedia of British Flat Racing has her initial trainer as "Cox" and has the death-bed anecdote taking place, with due melodrama, on the eve of the Derby. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative early-ish on-line source for deathbed story, with slight variation in wording.[1] Tigerboy1966 (talk) 21:29, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
