Talk:Game On Dude

Expansion

I have started to improve and extend the article. As always I would welcome some American eyes to check my attempts at AmE. Tigerboy1966 20:00, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any info on why he didn't run after Belmont in 2010? Im assuming he was injured. Tigerboy1966 20:22, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

equibase have him as a colt when he won his maiden and a gelding for the Lone Star Derby. The longest gap in his schedule at that time was five weeks after the Florida Derby: that's not much recovery time. Tigerboy1966 20:41, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Will do some digging as time permits. This horse is on track to be horse of the year for 2013 if all goes well, so the article is worth improving. Also another son of Awesome Again, who is also the sire of Oxbow (horse) and Paynter (horse), so newsworthy there too ... Montanabw^(talk) 17:51, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is all I could find: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/61014/torrid-baffert-wins-with-dude-mythical-power : "Game On Dude, who earned his place in the Belmont Stakes with a 4 ½-length triumph in the Lone Star Derby (gr. III) one month before, went to the sidelines following his effort in the third leg of the Triple Crown. “He did something to a hind ankle,” Baffert said, “so I had to stop on him.” FYI, Blood-Horse is the best place to go back for old articles on the lesser-known horses that I've found so far.

Retirement and article improvement

Anyone else want to collaborate on bringing this article up to GA, now that "the Dude" has been retired? Montanabw ^(talk) 02:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

you probably know by now that I'm wary making long-term commitments to big projects, but like to chip in. I will take a shot at the "background" section. Tigerboy1966 17:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to follow what's fun for you, just be sure to source it! Montanabw ^(talk) 21:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
