This horse is not notable per WP:NHORSERACING. He has not won any major races or titles. He has not received significant media coverage (I could find no media coverage), and has not sired any notable horses (and depending on the age of gelding may have sired no foals). The relatedness of the horse to other notable horses does not make him notable. DferDaisy (talk) 20:43, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment -- most of this article is about who the horse is related to -- but notability is not inherited, so that does not make the horse notable. Winning horses, like Secretariat, probably have thousands of descendants. I don't know if the two races the article says the horse won measure up to a special purpose notability guideline. If they don't I think it would be hard to support retention. But, even if he did, the horse is named after the WP:BROADCONCEPT of a fringe player, from literature(?). The Fringe player article should be about the underlying concept, not the horse. Geo Swan (talk) 17:27, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Lacks independent, reliable sources. I couldn't find anything other but the name is not very distinct, so if someone can present some evidence I would be open to change my mind. wikitigresito (talk) 07:08, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Does not meet notability. no stakes wins, much less G1. a gelding so no offspring. Jlvsclrk (talk) 21:58, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
