I added to the article, which was good and worthwhile, because it did not tell the whole story and in part was incorrect. If a citation is needed there is a perfect one in "Favourite Racehorses" A Timeform Publication. ISBN 0 900599 96 0 Published in 1997. The book was published to celebrate 50 years of Timeform and the relevant text is on pages 113 and 114. After adding my stuff someone may like to tidy things up as the first George Moore comment is really redundant. It might well be worth adding that in Ireland he normally led or ran up with the pace. Although a lead horse for Royal Palace they actually taught him to settle, and this style of running much suited the colt.(Victor Middlesex (talk) 02:09, 13 August 2013 (UTC))

If you can tell me how to put a pdf through to somewhere or someone I'll do it. It must have first appeared in Racehorses of 1967 I'd imagine. From quotations in the book I've got I'd take it that Murless was always ready to talk about things in this way(Victor Middlesex (talk) 07:36, 13 August 2013 (UTC))
