Truly, I believe following the silks is what you should do, but save changing the saddle towels, why not adding Trakus and showing the chicklets?
Not might, it would be a hell of a lot easier if they colored the saddlecloths. Are you saying that's it's easier to remember the silks of 4-5 horses that you might have in a leg of a pick 3 or 4? I really don't know why they are so stubborn on this issue. But then again why should I be suprised. These are the same people that decided to go back to back years at Santa Anita.
