That's a colt, AFAIK he isn't named yet. Out of Madre Bonita in 2017, sired by Tosen Homareboshi. I think there are pics of him earlier in this thread, if not he will be in the Foals of 2017 thread for sure.

His dam Madre Bonita(JPN)(by Jungle Pocket) is a 1/2 to Peer Gynt(JPN)(by Sunday Silence), multiple grade stakes winner & sire of multiple G2 winner Flamboyant(FR) who finished 2nd in the G2 San Gabriel at Santa Anita on Saturday.Starine wrote:Check out @pakapakakobo’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/pakapakakobo/status ... 16224?s=09

His second dam Twinkle Bride(JPN)(by Lyphard) was the G1 Oka Sho runner-up.
This colt could be very good, Starine.

Many I like......this one in particular I find a bit pig-eyed, and he's terribly thick through the throat latch!

He'll be hard to miss during a race.
I can't help but look at a horse with so much white on the face/muzzle and think, 'he'll need lots of sunscreen.'
And white is also not my favorite color on a horse, especially when it has no pigment around the eyes. Pink eyelids and pale lashes do tend to make a horse's eyes look 'piggish.'

Agreed. It's one thing for a decently bred white Thoroughbred mare with a good track record to be added to a breeding program, but there are so many white/bred for colour sporthorse nags with no bloodlines to speak of and even less talent that continue to be bred. I guess breeders who make $5,000-$10,000 dollars off of a flashy foal are still making profit, but they're literally aiming to breed mediocre horses.Flanders wrote:I second that.

Can you tell that breeding for colour a hot button issue for me!

He's only 3/4 TB, but check out this guy's Birdcatcher spots. His name is Magic Replica, by the TB sporthorse stallion Mystic Replica out of a TB x Belgian mare by Travelling Music. No Appaloosa in him!. Apparently he was born plain bay and the white spots only showed up when he was 5-6 years old.

I second that... he really is a "solid" looking fellow as I said! I've seen many of the white TBs with better looking eyes and more elegant heads overall. I think I like a lot of the Japanese ones for that reason they're not usually bred specifically for the colour.Retrospectiv wrote:Many I like......this one in particular I find a bit pig-eyed, and he's terribly thick through the throat latch!

Magic Replica is striking. Those spots are so eye catching.
