I'd like to see it in Harness Racing.
It's hard to tell one horse from another with the too-small cloth, partially obscured by the sulky and harness.
Especially when they're strung out on the other side of the track.
Another idea would be to make the wheels covered in the matching color.

[Sorry for switching from thoroughbreds, it just came to mind.
Maybe I'll do a thread in the Harness section.]

Thanks in advance.

With partnerships becoming more increasingly common lately you're starting to see silks rotation more often on big name horses. I know of several situations where the owners just decide to rotate every other race, usually don't think there's much to read into it. This has been going on for a long time, bring up a picture of Timber Country winning the Juvenile & then the Preakness back over 20 years ago for one that comes to mind.

This all seems like a trivial matter to most of us, but tell that to Simon Callaghan after he had Abel Tasman taken away from his stable last year.

Thanks.

In this situation, this might've actually been in reference to owner Michael House who's owned a fair amount of nice horses out west, and has some fun looking silks.

Correct. They want them left there, they clean em and all.

Then when the A--Holes lose your silks they claim they are not responsible.

Just happened to us. They gave them to a previous trainer that does not train for us, whom would not return our set of blinkers before, so what's the odds of getting a $300 set of silks back.

That Karl Broberg sure is a gem. One of, if not the biggest douches in the biz

Doesn't his silks say "for sale" or something in that regard?
