Winslow Homer (the artist) actually has a painting called "The Gulf Stream". This can't really be a coincidence, can it?

    No coincidence, He knew a horse would be named after him and win at Gulfstream .

    What i mean is, the owners must be Winslow Homer fans, and were familiar with the painting. Thus the name. Otherwise, it would be an awfully big coincidence.

    VERY interesting, and rather enjoyable, coincidence . . . that's the type of information one just can't find on a PP . . . :)

    Winslow Homer came out of the race in good order and is still pointing to the FOY at The Stream. I think we will get a higher price in the FOY when the big boys come off the bench. Was told nowhere near cranked up for the Holy Bull today via a text.

    Does the first round of Derby futures come before the FOY?
