Yeah, I love him too....there is not a single horse on the Churchill Downs backstretch during training hours that gets more attention...he is an eye-catcher with his near-white coat and huge self galloping through a sea of smaller chestnuts and bays...it is actually pretty cool to watch...

I like him a lot... he's gotten lighter and lighter with age.

Vigors, one of the best closers of all time. He was almost white.

I don't believe Boom Towner was a grey but I do believe he was a swayback.

I think Gaspar may live somewhere in the Saratoga area. He's a good guy. I miss having him around the track in NY.

Al Hattab..He also had a gene that was so dominant that all of his offspring were grey

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.

I never talked to him about it but he said a lot in the papers. My recollection was that he felt all the horses he was claiming were lame.
