I'd love to get a look at Awesome Banner's back to see if he has a dark stripe down his spine.

here's another one of Barbara's shots of Awesome Banner from the Swale. the other picture may be partially due to the lighting...he's still pretty light, but he doesn't look quite as golden here.

Dang...that poor pony horse really had his hooves full with that aggressive colt. He needed one of those leather shoulder guards...or maybe a full panoply of armor?

Looks like a wild bay which is prevalent in arabs, but it might just be the picture there, I think.lurkey mclurker wrote:This is about as golden bay as you could possibly be without being called buckskin...

AWESOME BANNER and Jose Caraballo win the Swale impressively at @GulfstreamPark for trainer Stanley Gold.

Here's a link with pictures of the recent white foal at Rockridge but it also has a neat collection of unusually coloured TBs further down on the page

I love mama and all the chrome on her, and course I love her baby being he's a grandson of Tapit. I know white Thorobreds have had limited success on the track but maybe he'll be different being as Tapit is in his bloodline on the sires side

Was going through some older pictures and forgot I had a bunch of Class Included. I have great sympathy for going grey at such an early age
But seriously, her mane and tail were the exception--I don't remember seeing grey hairs in her coat. Have to dig through photos to see if I have some close-ups.

Pretty sure PhotoShop has more to do with those markings than Nature does.

Some sad news about White Pharaoh... not a racehorse but a registered White Thoroughbred by Sato from Blazing Colour Farms who was bought by Disney to play Silver in the Lone Ranger along with an other horse.
Somehow he ended up neglected and the girl who volunteered to take him in ended up in a road accident, a culmination of bad luck for this poor guy
If any of you have 5$ to spare...

Here he was as a baby

Disney doesn't have enough money to take care of a horse that THEY bought!? The poor horse has to have a GoFund set up for him?

They may not even know. I actually just sent an email to their Donations, Sponsorship, and Outreach division with a link to the Gofundme, can't hurt to make them aware.BaroqueAgain1 wrote:Disney doesn't have enough money to take care of a horse that THEY bought!?

Perhaps contacting the media (TMZ?) about this, with photos of the neglected horse...that "starred" in one of its movies...would put pressure on a company that relies on presenting "the Happiest Place On Earth" as its corporate identity?
