Was Menifee always in Hancock silks? I seem to remember him in purple and yellow (with Humpty Dumpty or something on the back) earlier in his career. Maybe it was an every other race deal?

i don't know. when i saw yellow and grey, i immediately thought of stone farm. but i thought it was too much grey on the silks, so i wasn't sure if it was menifee or not. and now i know why i doubted my answer!

The Humpty Dumpty silks belonged to co-owner James Stone. It might have been an every other race deal because the Stone colors were worn in the Haskell and Super Derby, while Hancock's colors were worn in the Travers. Hancock's colors were worn in the Blue Grass and Derby; Hancock is superstitious, so he probably didn't want them changed for the big race.
