Anybody mention Shaconage? Not only my favorite grey, but maye my favorite horse period over the last few years.

slotdirt 07-12-2006 10:13 AM

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?

Dunno, El Prado was a decent horse...much better sire than horse on the track.

I'd say if you're ranking the greatest greys of all time, it starts and ends with the Bid. After that, I'll take some combination of Skip Away, Black Tie Affair, and maybe Holy Bull. Then again, I may be forgetting some of the great greys from yesteryear, so perhaps that isn't a complete list at all.

I said way back at the beginning of this thread somewhere that Skippy was my pick, I was just throwing out some more names...El Prado has been leading sire 2 times I believe (01 and 02 maybe?) definitely better than he ran.

And he was grey because of Al Hattab too.

I still have to figure out what to do with my BTA lifetime PP's signed by both Bailey and Day. I really want to get it framed alongside a picture of the old boy on the track, but I've yet to find a suitable picture of Black Tie Affair anywhere.

Downthestretch55 07-12-2006 10:41 AM

Slot,
I was looking for a pic of Black Tie Affair when I came across this one...
not for you, but for me.

There are a couple of Black Tie Affair pics on her website, but none of him while racing. I'm tempted to buy an old Bloodhorse magazine and just frame an article out of the magazine with a picture of him on the track.

Grey Memo.. especially going 7 1/2 at Hollywood.. Use to run in Silky Sullivan fashion (well maybe not quite that far back)

randallscott35 07-12-2006 11:00 AM

Got another good one. Mizzen Mast.

Downthestretch55 07-12-2006 11:05 AM

I wasn't born when this one ran, but has anyone heard of Grey Sovereign?
He won eight stakes in England including Coventry S. He was born in 1948.

No one has probably ever heard of this one. He was supposed to be the second coming of Native Dancer, ( in the Delaware Park circle anyway.)

His name was Leematt and I do believe he won the Carter one year. He was almost all white.

Absolutely no such thing as a pure "white" horse, unless we're talking albino. Wasn't there an albino named like Jesus Christ or something that ran down in Louisiana the last few years?

If it was a Thoroughbred, it wasn't in Louisiana or I would have seen him.....

Almost all white. He had black hairs that ran through his whole coat. Didn't say he was all white...
