Reviewed the race before this and one after it, might as well do the one in the middle.

Ref 6 date?

"Taking a slight lead round the Surrey bend, Cambridge's number four, Mayer 'die[d]'," not exactly comfortable with this in the report, even if it's a direct quote. How about faded, or a word similar to that effect.
Found a completely different source.  I wasn't too happy with it either.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
"At the finish, following tradition, the Oxford crew threw their cox, Hackworth, into the water in celebration", source doesn't confirm that it's a tradition, just Hackworth was thrown into water.
Added "trad" source.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Under reaction, 'Oxford cox Pete Hackworth', as his name and occupation was previously mentioned.

Sean Bowden's (Oxford coach) quotes are here to beef up the reaction section. Interesting opinion piece by Simon Barnes in The Times on 1 April 2002, p. S16 that you could also incorporate → here.
Incorporated Bowden's quote.  Added some of the sexy writing from Barnes, do you have the publication date of that edition of The Times'?  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
1 April 2002, have added now.
Nice work. No dab or dead links, nor could I find any issues with the image license, reliability of refs. Will pass once comments have been addressed. Lemonade51 (talk) 18:36, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks again for a useful and informed review, much appreciated.  Hopefully I've addressed your major concerns without undue delay, cheers.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Sweet, shall pass. Lemonade51 (talk) 20:02, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
My thankiest thanks.  More to come if you're mad for it...  Cheers.  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:10, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
