Strasburg was the location of the "joining of the rails", the actual last link in the coast-to-coast railroad network in the United States, completed in August 1870 with the completion at Strasburg of the Denver extension of the Kansas Pacific Railway (even after the 1869 Golden spike event in Utah that signalled the completion of the first transcontinental railroad, passengers of the Union Pacific portion of that line were required to disembark to cross the Missouri River by boat until 1873-ferry crossings were considered part of a rail line in that era and ferries used were typically owned by the railroad). Strasburg (previously known as Comanche Crossing) was renamed that year in honor of an official of the Kansas Pacific (Kansas Pacific is not one of the railroads however that was involved in the Transcontinental Rail Road, only the Central Pacific and Union Pacific). The Comanche Crossing Museum commemorates the 1870 "joining of the rails". However, the Transcontinental Rail Road was an entirely separate project, involving only the CPRR and UPRR with no involvement of any other railroad including the Kansas Pacific Rail Road.
Colorado wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Colorado. Most of Colorado's vineyards are located on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, though an increasing number of wineries are located along the Front Range.
Colorado (1923–1929) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He won the 2000 Guineas in 1926 and the Eclipse Stakes in 1927. He was also noted for his rivalry with the Derby winner Coronach whom he defeated on three of their four meetings.
Background
Until the emergence of Fairway at the end of the decade, Colorado was regarded as the best racehorse sired by Phalaris, who became the most influential stallion of the 20th Century. His dam, Canyon, won the 1000 Guineas in 1916 and was a successful broodmare. In addition to Colorado she produced the Eclipse Stakes winner Caerleon.
He was a small, but powerfully built colt standing just over 15 hands, known to be a particular favourite of his owner, Lord Derby. He was trained at Lord Derby's Stanley House stable by George Lambton who found him a difficult horse to prepare because of his habit of "choking" in exercise gallops.
Racing career
1925: two-year-old season
Colorado was a leading two-year-old in 1925, winning the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. In the Free Handicap, an official assessment of the year's two-year-olds, Colorado was assesses on 118lbs, eight pounds below the joint topweights Coronach and Legatee.

Strasburg was the location of the "joining of the rails", the actual last link in the coast-to-coast railroad network in the United States, completed in August 1870 with the completion at Strasburg of the Denver extension of the Kansas Pacific Railway (even after the 1869 Golden spike event in Utah that signalled the completion of the first transcontinental railroad, passengers of the Union Pacific portion of that line were required to disembark to cross the Missouri River by boat until 1873-ferry crossings were considered part of a rail line in that era and ferries used were typically owned by the railroad). Strasburg (previously known as Comanche Crossing) was renamed that year in honor of an official of the Kansas Pacific (Kansas Pacific is not one of the railroads however that was involved in the Transcontinental Rail Road, only the Central Pacific and Union Pacific).
