#LovetheChase, dam of 2X HOY #CaliforniaChrome, had a #Tapit colt on 1/25/17 at #AtlasFarm. #SFBloodstock @ABRLive @TeamABRLive

Adorable... I hope he stays chestnut because I love the lightning bolt blaze!

Whatever color he ends up, it looks like he's inherited his mom's lovely fine-boned head. That colt's teacup muzzle would look just fine on an Arabian foal.

That is one cute little boy!

But whiskery! Love this little Chromio, though.

That lightning-strike blaze is striking. Bolt of Chrome? Lightning Chrome?
I see Bloodhorse's headline describes him as a 'Half Brother To 'Chrome.' You'd think Bloodhorse should know what constitutes a three-quarter sibling.

His muzzle is... well, muzzle colored. And it's hard to tell what color his eyelashes are, but he doesn't have the tell-tale goggles. With his mom being a chestnut and Tapit throwing his fair share of chestnuts, I think this colt is gonna stay chestnut.

He looks grey to me - his legs, the area around his muzzle and his eyelashes. Could just be the photos but even on the birth photo I remember thinking the area right around his eye/eyelids without being full blown goggles looked very pale compared to the rest of him. Dunno how common it is in tbs, but in Arabians it isn't rare for grey foals to be born without the goggles or any indicator of greying at all until they start shedding their baby down.

LOL, every time I see a baby with a well placed lightning bolt blaze, I want them to be named paying homage to Harry Potter somehow.

The Colt Who Lived?
Although that doesn't sound very auspicious for a TB name.

Little Miss S. and her Flashback filly. Nice first foal!
