It's because he was a homozygous grey (he carried two grey genes.) It would be interesting to find out how many of his foals he passed that on to... each foal received one grey gene from him, so the ones that received one from their mother's would have been homozygous grey also. Cool.

Back in the hey day of racing. The old NY hard knockers, horses you could lay money down and actually have confidence in.
Those were the good old days.My favorite 3 greys were Ruritania and Shy Dawn and Saturday Morning.Ruritania raced against Secretariat,Shy Dawn had a tremendous closing kick and Saturday Morning was my 1st big mutual when he paid over $60 in the 9th race at Belmont with Eddie Maple aboard.

Interesting reading these. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because I personally have a hard time finding greys or roans "beautiful"

Those were the good old days.

Your not kidding Mermaid. I found racing, especially in NY, wonderful in the early to late 90's. They just dont make horses like they use to and finding a favorite has been tough. Back then there were so many horses you just had to root for. Now it seems like a dime a dozen.

I have seen Gasper in Saratoga recently so I have to believe he lives here or at least owns a house here.

He had a horse called Genes Gray Girl who use to win all the time in close photos. That horse would always get her nose down first. I know he made a ton of money betting on that horse during the Toga meet. Always use to go off at 5/2 and usually won.

And no Black Tie Affair? Come on, people, we're naming great greys and not one of you mention one of the greatest, gamest greys of them all?
