Joe Childs

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)

Not sure about the image though and would appreciate some comment from a more experienced DYK reviewer. --Bcp67 (talk) 11:52, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
