Surplice (horse)

... that in 1848, Surplice (pictured) became the first racehorse to win both the Derby and the St. Leger Stakes since 1800?

Comment: Double-DYK possibility with the creation of the article on the previous double-winner in 1800, Champion (horse). --PFHLai (talk) 20:56, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

New enough and long enough, article is well cited, the hook is neat and has an online citation, can find no copyvio problems &c. Image is public domain. Ready to go. Moonraker (talk) 03:33, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

NB, the above relates only to Surplice. If Champion is added, that will need to be reviewed too. Moonraker (talk) 03:41, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
