You are right. Imposing filly nonetheless.

Rackumback Swifty was a winner at Indiana Grand R5 today. Three wins in 8 starts. No photo, just overheard that he's a registered black while TVG2 was playing in the background.

And a nice mover too.

Lonhro really stamps his offspring. It's gotten to where I can usually spot his kids when I'm watching Aussie racing.

Is there interest in black Thoroughbreds from the past? I've got scads of what are registered as blacks in my 'dams of two or more classic winners' project. I'm afraid I have no photos of any of the horses in question. It's hard enough just finding the names! LOL!

Actually, I have scads of black horses in my project. Not oodles.

Arc runner Siljan's Saga is listed as black.

Arc runner Siljan's Saga is listed as black.

I Googled for some photos. It's interesting; when I first saw him I first thought him just a very dark grey because of his tail.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Siljan's Saga is a she.

Not surprising that one might have thought she was grey; her grandsire was the lovely grey Linamix, who we lost recently.

Likely a gulastra plume type gene - lightens usually the tail only. Based on the telecast she looks pretty black.

[BaroqueAgain1]

I thought she was definitely grey...a steel grey with a silver tail. Her face had white hairs and her coat didn't look black.
Of course, without actually standing next to her, I'm just judging by a telecast...not exactly foolproof.

She's a tricky one!
I'm thinking Rabicano as a possibility as well...

Dubai Turf winner Vivlos is registered as black.

And she is a stunner. Wonder what their plans are for her? Thought I heard something about her being a possible for the Arc. While the distance she ran today is shorter, the record for fillies in the Arc is quite good, so I hope we see her in France.
