Default NYRA: Hansen runs 'as is'

NYRA tells Dr. Hansen the horse runs as nature intended. No colored tail. No colored mane.

http://blogs.courier-journal.com/han...color-request/

He can be a horse of a different color if they remake 'The Wizard of Oz'.

Hard to say. How many people have dyed their hair or wear wigs, etc.? It does seem odd but it might have added some flair.

Could the owner Dr. Hanson be anymore of a media whore? First the look at me Eclipse speech, now this. I hate to wish evil on the horse because of the owner but I hope he never wins another race.

Well, they could not wash the urine stains out, and run him as a yellow pinto. Or the groom could leave the Quic Silver or bluing on too long, and the horse could run as pale sky blue, or even green
