Hansen (foaled April 23 2009 in Kentucky) nicknamed ‘White Lightning’ and ‘The Great White Hope’ is a grey American Thoroughbred racehorse. Out of the Sir Cat mare Stormy Sunday he is sired by Tapit. He is registered as gray or roan under the rules of The Jockey Club but is a gray. He is notable for having a hair coat that has grayed out to white far more rapidly than is typical which led sportscaster Frank DeFord to describe him as a four-legged Steve Martin.
