I thought you were kidding. I would guess that they needed to find a creative way to fill a race.

How has someone not yet named a horse Clayton Bigsby?

I guess there just aren't that many dark and blind race horses.

Why the first race at AQU today is restricted to "grey or roan horses" ?
That's neat. Grey horses are the coolest.

Do they still run The Gray Ghost Handicap at the Meadowlands?

There should be a symbol of some kind.

It was an incredibly weak race for the class level.

You've got an open Starter Alw with a 38K purse being won by a NY Bred who is slower speed figure wise than Freddy Mo's 5K condition claimer at Penn.

Unbridled Danger wasn't able to snap his impressive streak of 30 straight finishes out of the exacta.

Hcp 16000s is the way it will show up in the PPs.

Yep they still run the Grey Ghost Starter at the Meadowlands.

They used to have the same race at Calder on Extreme Day and called it the Gray Pride race

I believe the Arromanches S. is coming up . That is restricted to greys as well .

Note edit: This race is the Arromanches. A tribute to the beloved NY grey .

I was going to mention that Calder plowed this field long ago.
