Thank you for the quick review. Here are some ALTs to consider:

• ALT1:... that Roman Brother, the 1965 American Horse of the Year, was a particularly small horse that was called "Mighty Mite" by the press?
• ALT2:... that in 1965, the American Thoroughbred Roman Brother, a particularly small horse that was nicknamed "Mighty Mite", became the first horse sold at a public auction to be named Horse of the Year?
