Personally, I think, and I'm being dead nuts serious here, that's the coolest logo ever.

Notice how the jockey on the back horse has no head?

Freakin awesome!

It's because the jock in front has no body.

Some serious Ichabod Crane action going on.

At least the jockey doesn't have bridge cables coming out of his butt like in the Belmont Stakes logo. I like it.

Not to bad . I kind of like it ...the winning silks to be determined and thus, the colors of the canoe type theme.

Since we're picking this thing apart anyway.......I would say that the horse in the back running in front with only a head as a jockey is running with his winter blanket on. Just saying.

I agree with you, but my wife says its a tribute to Washington Irving, the creator of the headless horseman from The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow.
