Is the article about the running of the 2023 Kentucky Derby a platform to propagate deaths of horses and the failings of this industry. There's much more missing from this article which is directly associated with the race and should be added. There is a mention of the scratching of Lord Miles which I feel is acceptable but the rest questionable.Brudder Andrusha (talk) 19:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230508194900","author":"Brudder Andrusha","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Brudder_Andrusha-20230508194900-Horse_deaths_at_Churchill_Downs","replies":["c-JRHorse-20230509185100-Brudder_Andrusha-20230508194900"]}}-->
I agree with the comment. I have added a proposal to the talkspace that the section of the article concerning horse deaths be removed, and that expanding in the lead that the Derby was noted for its mainstream media coverage of equine deaths in the days leading up to the race.

I've started a talk page discussion to change the name of the article above to Whitney Stakes. I believe there is no reason to have a (NYRA) at the end of that title, as there is only one Whitney Stakes. It's my opinion there is no need for disambiguation, and the current naming is not consistent with the names of other horse racing stakes articles. I started a move discussion because I'm not sure whether or not the change would be uncontroversial.

Looks uncontroversial to me, I can't see any reason for the disambiguator and I've supported the RM. It will need someone with page mover rights to move the article as Whitney Stakes redirects to the (NYRA) one - I could have done that, but now the RM needs to take its course. --Bcp67 (talk) 13:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230814132500","author":"Bcp67","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Bcp67-20230814132500-JRHorse-20230814121600","replies":["c-Montanabw-20230927054200-Bcp67-20230814132500"]}}-->

I've just noticed that the Pedigree template has been recently modified with the width of 90% removed. This squashes the pedigree information into a poorly formatted representation which just lacks clarity to the eye.
