It’s Fonner. More likely the jock showed up to the gate wasted and got sent back

Here are today’s picks. Have a feeling the pick 5 could see a couple bombs and have a big payout. GL all.

Fonner Trivia: Watching videos of the races from Fonner, I noticed that the jockeys don't wear the silks of the owners or trainers. The silks are plain, solid colors, and are the same colors as the standard saddle cloths used in other tracks. The jockey on #1 wears a red cap, red silks, and the usual red saddle cloth. Jockey #2 wears white silks, and so on.
Anybody ever seen this anyplace else before?

Plain silks
Yes, years ago it was common at small tracks.

Off the top of my head...Mountaineer Park and Will Rogers Downs also do this. Also...with some tracks if a Jockey has to wear House Silks in lieu of having the Owner's silks at the track the House Colors will correspond with the Saddle Pad.

Looking forward to today's card as Fonner has provided a welcome respite from the worry and stress of living through a pandemic. I've always enjoyed small track racing since cutting my teeth at Commodore Downs near Erie Pa. way back in the day so this place is right up my ally.
As a plus, I think they do a nice job with their simulcast presentation.
I appreciate and salute their efforts to keep us in the game and to provide their horse people a chance to catch a check or two.

Think you are right, when it was at about $40,000 we had a live ticket for the whole thing, had the lead halfway around the final turn and ended up third.
If you look at my picks, you will notice the last leg is a couple of shots.
