Looks like somatic mutation.

It does, now that you have said that.

It is neat though. The way it kind of blends in/connects with her facial markings.

It looks like someone threw paint on her!

The aforementioned Australian colt Sweet Ride (by Deep Field) upset the G3 San Domenico Stakes in late August. More recently, he was third in the G2 Run to the Rose.

Fun marking on the side of this filly from the Keeneland September sale.

Utzon, the white daughter of The Opera House, has had her second foal. Her first was a plain bay

This is her third foal. The first two were bay/brown fillies by Grunt.

This white filly is by Alabama Express.

Nothing to see here…just a plain grey Girvin filly

Classic blood mark (aka "bloody shoulder") it's a somatic mutation. Seems to have originated in Arabians and is still more commonly seen in that breed.

Here's foundation sire the Bloody Shouldered Arabian imported to England ca. 1719

It can be on any part of the body, not just the shoulder ex. this OTTB https://twitter.com/FloridaTrac/status/ ... 0369998848

Woke up this morning thinking about how cool it would be for Breyer to make a Sodashi. I don't think they've done many international thoroughbreds, but they would sell out immediately. Japan already has a ton of horse merch (which we don't do here

) but they don't have models like that, from what I've seen.

First white thoroughbred to win a G1 race and championship. Surely that warrants a model <3.

That filly's somatic mutation didn't originate with an Arabian. They are not heriditary, it's literally a one time in utero mutation. In this case, those cells didn't get the grey memo.

On the subject of grays, I've noticed that Fiber Sonde offspring tend to gray out rather slowly.

Muad'dib (Fiber Sonde x Holy Pow Wow by Indian Charlie) at 3

Muad'dib at 4.

Muad'dib at 5 from this past weekend, now a lovely rosy color.

And he won again. He's really pretty good for a WV-bred.

Also love his name!

Probably not the most unique in the world, but Destiny's Love (by Even the Score) is completely light gray, save for a super dark gray or black patch on her mane.

White wonder Sodashi was run down by 34-1 shot Izu Jo No Kiseki (by Epiphaneia) in the G2 Fuchu Himba.
