On the capitalization, there's a formal consensus by WP:EQUINE that yes, the proper name is 'American Thoroughbred' not 'American thoroughbred'. I've been dealing with capitalization issues lately, and the word is capitalized now, after a long, ridiculous battle. (In the horse industry, the capitalized term 'Thoroughbred' refers to the specific breed of horse, while the uncapitalized 'thoroughbred' refers to any purebred horse.)

@ SchroCat: I'll go whichever way you want to go on the capitalization issue for the word "Thoroughbred" because it's not an edit war-worthy issue. I favor capitalization because we are talking an animal breed, an as such it is my position that we treat breed names as proper nouns, and thus capitalized. Basically, it's a technical language question, and capitalization of animal breed and species names is part of a set of capitalization "wars" that go across multiple WP animal articles and the disputes have, at times, been so nasty that they make the infobox wars look like a session of Kumbayah. :-P Essentially, the American Jockey Club capitalizes it, (though even they have some inconsistency, see 6 of 7 uses here The UK Jockey Club also does ( here), but a lot of "generic" style manuals state that one does not capitalize animal breed names (poodle, beagle, etc..) so there is a legitimate debate.

@ Montanabw: A reader ( ticket:2016110510014238 ) Claims that the horse has two small white beauty marks on her face above and near her right eye. Could someone check this claim out? Thanks. -- S Philbrick (Talk) 00:45, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
