I know he's just grey, but I love the way his mane and tail have lightened faster than his body.

He is extremely pleasing to the eye and hopefully he'll make a stakes winner for Three Diamonds.

Are those pinfires on the front left leg? Don't see those on the others.

On Tuesday pinto Standardbred filly Jakarta Partygirl (Googoo Gaagaa x Fancy Starlark by Larks Crown) broke her maiden at Pocono.

(kinda sad looking at the empty stands )
The other unusual thing about her is that her official pedigree is incomplete - the parents of her 2nd dam are listed as "BREEDING NOT PROVEN" and there is a *** NOT PUREBRED - CANNOT BE REGISTERED IN CANADA *** disclaimer on her TrackIT page https://trackit.standardbredcanada.ca/? ... id=1088714 If she is capable of trotting 1:58 she's clearly a full STB or really darn close though. Tobiano Standardbreds do exist (more commonly in Australia, the UK and Ireland than in the US) so I'm thinking that maybe her dam's family were STBs used for show and just never got chipped or tattooed, or perhaps Fancy Starlark and/or her dam were purchased at an Amish-type auction and the paperwork never transferred.

[BaroqueAgain1]

This may date me, but I was taught that a pinto is two-tone (black & white or brown & white) while a paint was tri-color (black, brown & white). So I guess I would call Jakarta Partygirl a paint.
Could it also be possible that Jakarta Partygirl has Saddlebred in that mysterious place in her pedigree? IIRC, Saddlebreds did occur early in the establishment of the STB breed, along with Morgans and Narragansett Pacers. Saddlebreds do have some flashy color lines.

I always distinguished pinto (two colors) and paint (three colors) but the registry(s) probably have more rules.

[Miss Woodford]

Pinto is a color pattern that can occur in many breeds, Paint is a breed (American Paint Horse Association) in itself, closely mixed with QHs and TBs. All Paints are pintos (aside from "breeding stock" paints that were born without enough white to qualify) but most pintos are not Paints.

I very much doubt the mystery parents of Jakarta Partygirl's second dam were Saddlebred. The second dam Sunny's Seyko was foaled in 1999, and the registry was officially closed in 1973, though by that point no Morgans/Saddlebreds/TBs had been able to make the time standard for decades. Certainly a 3/4 or 7/8 STB cross would not be able to trot sub-2:00. Whatever Saddlebred-type ancestry she may have is much further back.

I'm sorry, but that much white smeared all over a horse's face like that is not attractive. I think he has a nicely-shaped head, but it's hard to tell when the profile is broken up by white and brown splashed all over the head and muzzle.
Not a fan of knee-high white legs, either.

Stainless Steel (Quality Road x Spring Storm [UBS]), the steel-grey colt with the silver mane and tail shown earlier in this thread, is running in the upcoming 7th at Saratoga, a 5 1/2-furlong Starter Allowance for 3yo+up on the turf. He should be easy to spot.
ETA: He won't look quite as flashy, as his silvery mane is tied up in braids. He is looking 'on his toes' and 'on the muscle,' per Acacia in the paddock. He is a really purty pony.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Unfortunately, SS finished 7th (I think). Fortunately, he was past the fall of On Our Way Boyz, so he wasn't impeded by that bad spill.

Ohana Honor colt out of Spacy Tracy...just a gorgeous boy. I love his face - the blaze starts in the middle of his face, it’s so unique - at least to me. His tail is glorious...

He’s been working really well, but sadly is the AE in the maiden race at the Spa on Saturday, so he’ll probably have to run next week.

He’s my favorite Honor Code since HAP - I’m just in love with this sweet baby.
