But, what if it falls off in the paddock or during the race??? Will Raul have to bend to pick it up? Might it not impede the other horses?

I surprised that the issue of whether the Jockey Club will allow the owners to run under DAP Racing (knowing what it stands for) or to use their silks (with donkey on back) hasn't come up yet.

Those should both be allowed, right? I know there's a specific rule about having text on silks in NY that is not allowed, but this shouldn't really violate it.

Believe non-TJC approved silks/blinkers are OK in stakes. Must conform in NY otherwise.

Forget whose silks this came up with that helped alter the standards... might have been Brother Derek with the NBC peacock on the jacket.

The only thing I was aware of is the specific rule that text is not allowed. That's why Indian Blessing had only a longhorn on her silks instead of the typical "no bull."
