NYRA: Hansen runs 'as is'

[OldDog]

It's possible that we really aren't far apart on this. The way that I read the "exploitation" quote of Jay's piece was that the people who feel that coloring a horse would be exploitation are the same people who feel that virtually every aspect of the sport is exploitation of the horse. At least, that most jives with my own opinion, so maybe I projected it into his piece.

RT @jdemling: Tail of Blue Grass Stakes favorite Hansen has been colored blue for today's Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. #bluegrassstakes

Jody Demling heard Dr Hansen telling someone 'They're not going to scratch him but they're not happy'

Dr Hansen (TV in tow) was up in stewards office. Apparently he did it: dyed Hansen's tale blue w/o their OK. #hansen #keeneland #kyderby

Mr Hansen should have his hair dyed blue whether he likes it or not.

Just saw on TVG that they have removed the dye. Apparently the stewards had already told Dr. Hansen that he couldnt dye the tail. But Dr. Hansen had other plans for today, including having bracelets dropped from a plane or helicoptor and hiring a sky writer (weather disrupted both). Could this guy be any more obnoxious?

I say he should dye his hair blue. Let's see that. Unless he thinks it would be undignified, of course.

Nice local article about Hansen - the horse and owner

Yeah, he's obnoxious, same as everyone said about Repole last year to a degree. I don't have a problem with these guys with the new money in the game. If you haven't noticed, we need some guys with personality.
It reminds me of Bull Durham when Crash tells Nuke "If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press will think you're colorful." Well when you win the BC Juvenile, go crazy and do whatever you want.
