Is there some reason?

How has someone not yet named a horse Clayton Bigsby?

I guess there just aren't that many dark and blind race horses.

How would something like that show up in the PPs next out?

Gr/RNSHP?

Why the first race at AQU today is restricted to "grey or roan horses" ?

That's neat. Grey horses are the coolest.

Do they still run The Gray Ghost Handicap at the Meadowlands?

There should be a symbol of some kind.

It was an incredibly weak race for the class level.

You've got an open Starter Alw with a 38K purse being won by a NY Bred who is slower speed figure wise than Freddy Mo's 5K condition claimer at Penn.

Unbridled Danger wasn't able to snap his impressive streak of 30 straight finishes out of the exacta.

Hcp 16000s is the way it will show up in the PPs.

Yep they still run the Grey Ghost Starter at the Meadowlands.

They used to have the same race at Calder on Extreme Day and called it the Gray Pride race

I believe the Arromanches S. is coming up . That is restricted to greys as well .

Note edit: This race is the Arromanches. A tribute to the beloved NY grey .

If they ain't running an "all black" horse race for equality I am calling Al Sharpton.

I was going to mention that Calder plowed this field long ago.

I guess I can sort of see doing it on something called extreme day - or doing it on Thanksgiving night like the Meadowlands ... today seemed like an odd time to run a White Power Starter Alw race.

I have a program from May 19th, 1956. Ascot Park, between Akron and Cleveland, closed in 1966 when purchased by Eddie DeBartolo.

May 19th was the running of the "Ascot Gold Cup Handicap" at two miles.

The program has an ad for:

NEXT SATURDAY

Final Day of the 1956 Meeting

Gray Ghost Handicap

$3,000.....SIX and 1/2 FURLONGS

For Gray and Roan Horses

An aside,

James Clemens, Norman Hart and Gail Parker were neck and neck for the meet riding title on that day.

P. Maxwell was by far the leading trainer, with H. Jolley a distant 3rd.


And a further aside, the guy who had this program had 3 tickets on the daily double at $63.20 for a nice $189.60 1956 dollar score. I bought the program on eBay.
