horses with unique coloring/facial markings

Foolish Hobby (Arrogate x Flatter Up) has a very unique gray color. Her rump is still kind of reddish and dark gray while the front half is lighter. I believe this is what you would call "gray roan" as apposed to just "gray."

Grey and roan are two separate genes and because rn roan doesn't exist in the TB gene pool, it's just grey no matter what people call it.

Roan (as a color in various breeds): Head and legs always remain dark?

I know you follow her and didn't know if you saw that Speighster yearling is in the Wannamakers online sale, just a flashy chestnut though.

I didn't! Thank you! Very pretty colt regardless. Hope he keeps the light mane.

Also a very flashy Sharp Azteca colt, in a bit of an "awkward" stage. Could've done better pictures

Swayback, or camera angle?

BaroqueAgain1 · Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:59 pm

I don't think a camera angle could create THAT bad of a swayback.

Hard to believe that a yearling colt could look so much like a middle-aged gelding.

Eons ago, a swayback ran in the Derby. I developed a sneaking fondness for him, and there was an interview with his jock, explaining how the ride was different.

Could his name have been Sway Away?..

There was a decent horse named Sway Away, who was quite sway-backed.

Um hello yes I'll take him.

ETA: As a yearling.

He's been named Ronstadt

New photo of Ronstadt, who is now a gelding. He ran 2nd in Tampa R4 yesterday.

Ronstadt's snoot needs booped.

Spotted white filly White Hot (Flammabull x Colorfull Seattle) ran a really good race today to finish third at Aqueduct!

Ronstadt's snoot needs sunscreen. Lots of sunscreen.

That's not Covfefe's weanling. She put up pics of her also. Her blaze is "normal" looking. Here's the tweet with Covfefe's foal https://twitter.com/LNJFoxwoods/status/ ... 4520402945

Anybody ever seen a head pic of flightline and noticed the large patch of white fur on his neck?

It has to be from an injury. He doesn't have it when he was sold as a yearling.
The quality leaves a lot to be desired but here is as as a yearling, almost 2 working in Florida and its not there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqE2EQsSvuU

Well, if it IS from an injury, then no wonder they're keeping him in bubble wrap! The horse is accident prone in addition to having apparent soundness issues!

Forgive me for being cynical, but I just can't help it with THIS one!!
