Just my observation before reading the article......... but I don't remember reading a margin of victory of that large.
Just four years beforehand, the same winning margin for 2004, but noted.  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Oxford were clear pre-race favourites don't particularly care for "clear" here. Would prefer you use a quote to explain what the author/source said, or if there's a specific margin, but I don't like just "clear", reeks of WP:PEACOCK
Removed "clear".  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Do you know when the last margin of victory was 6 lengths? That figure stuns me.
Per above, 2004.  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Feel like I've seen Dowbiggin somewhere before, perhaps a note in the "background" section?
It's noted "Both coxes, Brodie and Dowbiggin, were former Blues..." already, was there any more you were looking for? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
My last name is Monaghan! But on a serious note, the double-dagger in the footnotes doesn't have a corresponding double-dagger in the table, and one of the names is a typo (Monoaghan v. Monaghan).
Fixed, and annotated.  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
The sponsorship should be mentioned in the body because it's mentioned in the lead.
I don't like it in the lead, I've moved it into the main body and referenced it.  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Passable otherwise. Seattle (talk) 03:12, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

@Seattle: All addressed, many thanks.  The Rambling Man (talk) 06:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
