Cleanup

[edit]

While there is no doubt that the subject has had lots of success in thoroughbred racing in recent years, this article contains too much information and lean — including a list of past and present top horses — that might be better suited for a personal website and not a Wikipedia page.

I did a bunch of cleanup on the page, including reading all of the content and fixing grammar, spelling and punctuation. In my pursuit to ensure each race name had a wikilink, I corrected a few that were wrong. I added dozens of wikilinks. The stables 'list' was put into the lede paragraph of the 'Horse racing' section, as prose. The horse section was put into alphabetical order and citations were added to those that didn't have any. It's unlikely that this is an indiscriminate list of individual horses considering that the content also states that Kumin and his partners maintain around 100 horses at any one time, so I hesitate to trim it. Mind Your Biscuits doesn't have a wiki article of its own, however the horse was mentioned numerous times indicating he probably could get his own article, and "In 25 starts, Mind Your Biscuits won eight times, including three Grade or Group 1 victories, and had 10 second-place finishes. With earnings of more than $4.2 million, the son of Posse is the highest earning New York-bred of all time." So I've probably handled the 'copy edit' tag, possibly the 'cleanup list' tag, and I don't know why the 'POV' tag was placed on the article. Yes, there's a lot of content there, with great long prose of this and that horse winning this and that race in various years... blah blah boring. Probably could/should get a big trim from that, but I'm not your person to do that task because my trim style sometimes cuts wildly (like a machete or chain saw).
