I don't know what you call the horse that escorts each of the Racing Horses to the gate is called but we were at a quarter horse race and the (whatever they are called) other horse was a though bread and much bigger..... she wanted to bet on THAT BIG ONE!! She said,” He is SURE to win!!"......... LOL Yea, right... too bad he's not running honey.
She went back to betting on grey horses and pretty silks!
