Non-notable horse whose best finish wasn't even a show, and in an event with no page here. But he has "hopes" for the future. Glenfarclas (talk) 22:55, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the horse have archieved nothing of relevance, it seems to be just another good (but not notable) horse.Dentren | ^Talk 23:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non notable. The article can be recreated when (if?) the horse actually achieves something, rather than just having hopes for the future. Dana boomer (talk) 22:50, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Appears non-notable but its best result is actually a win (it has won three races) -- Mattinbgn\^talk 07:23, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you're right, by "best finish" I was referring to what the article called his "most high-profile run," but obviously I picked my words badly. --Glenfarclas (talk) 07:34, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Three wins out of how many races? How important were the races themselves? Edward321 (talk) 03:57, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Tentative Delete - I think the question of which races this horse has won is important. There are thousands of horse races every day around the world... and all of them have a winner. Simply winning a race does not make a horse notable... However, winning a notable race... something like the Kentucky Derby or the Grand National... does.
