Who was that grey pony horse in this race? He was beyond magnificent.

Apollitical Jess, Sorrel Colt, by Mr Jess Perry out of Apollitical

Very nice 3yo quarter horse timed at 19.19 and almost tied Freaky's time of 19.156. Chart said he stumbled at the start too.

I think he was asking about the pony to post, not a grey runner in the race. I really enjoyed Freaky's comeback, though. It was great to see a great horse overcome a bad start and go on to win.
