Having changed the title of the Mildmay of Flete to the Racing Post Plate a few weeks back I've now had seconds and decided to revert the name back to the race's generic, rather than sponsored title.
I've also seen in today's (14th Dec 06) Evening Standard, that the new Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton Park will replace the Castleford Chase at Wetherby. I haven't altered the list yet though. Bcp67 21:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Looking for some good names, especially for the myriad of Mares' Hurdles and NH Flat Races. Any sµggestions?
Does anyone know of "official" names for the two Listed races at Kempton today? They had been sponsored by William Hill for a while, but Matchbook have taken over this year - will that last? October Hurdle and October Novices' Hurdle would describe them fairly well but lacks gravitas, so I am hoping someone has a better suggestion. ( JockeyColours ( talk) 17:57, 22 October 2017 (UTC))
I see there was no Contenders Hurdle at the recent Scilly Isles meeting at Sandown so I assume it is correct that the race has been discontinued. Are there any links stating this that can be added to the race page? I assume the "Last Run" column on this page should therefore be Feb 2022?( JockeyColours ( talk) 14:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC))
I did a minor fix to some {{ convert}} parameters to remove the article from an error category. What is the idea behind:
<span style="display:none">{{convert|2|mi|3.5|furlong|m|0}}</span>
Is that for a sort key? If so, it wouldn't work very well because it would be sorting on the text
2 miles 3.5 furlongs (3,923 m)
If a sort key is what is wanted, I'll change the converts to get a better result. By the way, if you ever wanted to actually display the convert results, something like this might be used:
{{cvt|2|mi|3+1/2|furlong|m|0}}
→ 2 mi 3+1⁄2 furlongs (3,923 m)Add |disp=table
or |disp=tablecen
for use in a table with alignment right and center, respectively. Also, the grid would be better with a gray color and some margin.

There no longer seems to be any criteria for this list. We now have "selected" races which have no clear reason for being "selected". Should it just be cut back to Grade 1, 2, Listed & Premier Handicaps? Or do we include anything above a certain status - a specific prize value, or anything above Class 2 for example? Any views on this? Bcp67 ( talk) 19:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
