I always thought the Cotillion was named after some famous old horse or broodmare.... turns out ....
"In the United States, Cotillion has become training that children and young adults attend to learn manners and proper social behavior in the context of formal dance. The participants dress up in formal attire and some cotillions emphasize the use of white gloves. Modern day Cotillion takes the form of classes and parties."
Ah, I'm sure Freddy and I and a few others missed out on those.
More importantly, they should rename that race The Coaliton.
