Also Eligibles In The Derby This Year!

Up to four of them, in fact - although observing a deadline of Friday at 9:00 AM sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

It also raises an interesting question:

What will the saddle-towel colors for the resulting new program numbers 21, 22, 23 and 24 be?

I've seen graphics for this but can't recall where, so best we can do is this

21 - Lavendar
22 - Postal Blue
23 - Seafoam
24 - Olivez

Lavender makes sense, as it was used for #12 in the original system that existed in California in the late '80s to early '90s; but they could have also used gold (intermediate between the present #4 yellow and #7 orange), which was #10 in that system.

And I assume "seafoam" is some shade of blue, perhaps greenish blue?

I had thought of ivory (lighter than the present #15 khaki), teal (similar to #9 turquoise, only more grayish), pewter (see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' helmets) and bronze as possibilities; metallic silver also (I had thought of olive too).
