This template provides a quick, standard method of citing Racing Post's database of horse profiles for racehorse-related articles in Wikipedia.
It is a wrapper around the standard citation template {{cite web}}. As such it fills out some {{cite web}} parameters, but the full range of parameters provided by WP:CS1 are available. To change the appearance of the output to that of {{citation}} use the parameter |mode=cs2.
Usage
