That's when you see track-owned generic silks of a color matching the saddle towel number. As in, the house silks for number one are red, number two are white, three are blue, and so on with the usual corresponding colors. Most often they are used in lieu of owner silks when there aren't any but some tracks (read: low level) race exclusively in house silks.
