Biography: 

The "groom" who leads the skittish horse Acheron up to the starting line is not described (230). We assume that he is 'black,' like McWillie and the other man who works in Linscomb's stable, but typically Faulkner's fiction will specify race when a character is not white, so it is certainly possible that Faulkner imagined him as 'white.'
