 Hi Tigerboy, over at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/William_Robinson_Brown/archive1, I am trying to figure out horse prices in 1918.  I found a site stating an officer's horse might go for 75 pounds, but haven't found a good RS on horses of breeding quality, such as race horses.  So, given your expertise in this area, can you point me to some race horse biographies or other sources that indicate the types of prices that English Thoroughbreds were selling for in that period?  The consensus of experts is that when WR Brown paid William Scawen Blunt 2727 pounds for 20 horses, he got them at fire sale prices, though that averages out to 136 pounds per horse, so still over the price of an officer's charger. Trying to find some higher-end horses to use as a comparison (that same year, Samuel Riddle paid $5000 for Man O' War as a yearling) Feel free to answer here or pop over there. Thanks.  "
