Well, they could not wash the urine stains out, and run him as a yellow pinto. Or the groom could leave the Quic Silver or bluing on too long, and the horse could run as pale sky blue, or even green

It's like a papal visit when you grace us with your presence. Like... Santa Clause! Instead of gifts you bring us tiny little gems so no... whilst I didn't used to work there I can a) give you a free show anyway, b) dye your hair in the color you had hoped for for Hansen to have or c) present you with the plethora of fine yet imaginary gifts behind door number three.

Yours faithfully,

mmsc

I'd respectfully disagree, Jay. I consider the decision to be very much an indication of sense.

I must say that while initially I agreed with NYRA's decree, Hovdey's piece gave me pause (not that NYRA cares one iota what I think). The "suggest exploitation" quote, I think, is a winner. Anyway, it's done. We can all rest assured that there's no exploitin' goin' on.

Talking Jay Hovdey sees big picture

At first I thought it was ridiculous, but now I agree with Jay Hovdey--- It would have been lighthearted publicity, and face booked and tweeted all over the place.
