Sale price

Tiny discrepancy: I have his sale price from R. Ladbroke to Egremont as 510 guineas in this print source.(Mortimer, Roger; Onslow, Richard; Willett, Peter (1978). Biographical Encyclopedia of British Flat Racing. Macdonald and Jane’s. ISBN 0-354-08536-0.).

Also do you have any idea what T.Y.C. stands for- the initials appear in lots of race descriptions and I've been racking my brains in vain. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 23:20, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At Newmarket, TYC stood for the two-years-old course (5 furlongs and 136 yards). I'll add the other sale price. Froggerlaura (talk)

Grandsire?

The article says his grandsire was Eclipse, but the info box gives it as Pot-8-os. Which is correct? Alexandriensis (talk) 07:51, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
