Although it doesn't involve the name "Gracie", you tweaked my memory of a nice filly that ran at River Downs in Cinncinati about 20 years ago and she was awesome. Was very dominate in her races and was difficult to beat. Her name was "Ta Dah". I still remember to this day the track announcer calling the races she ran in and it simply went like this:
"As they approach the finish line-----------------Ta Dah". With an extra special emphasis on the "Ta Dah"!!! And that was the way the race call went in most of her races.
