Portrait of Joe Childs, by Sir John Lavery (1856-1941)

• ... that Joe Childs (pictured) rode Gainsborough to win the British Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in 1918, and donated his riding fees for the year to the British Army's cavalry?

Hook looks slightly long at 376 chars, and also refers to Cavalry Regiments of the British Army, rather than the specific regiment that Childs donated to (4th Hussars) - could this be changed? Otherwise looks good - the hook checks out with the cite (I have the same book so was able to verify it), article is sufficiently long, verifiable and new enough. --Bcp67 (talk) 11:48, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
