I mean...Gold Dream's head doesn't actually look like that.....does it? :shock:
They have him standing in a conformation pose in the video on here and he has a completely normal head. How they managed to achieve that photo, I have no clue.

Gold Meister's confirmation photo has the same weird head as Gold Dream's, where they both look like they ran nose first into a closed stall door.

I really like Beach Patrol, but I'm a big Lemon Drop Kid fan so I am very biased.

Agreed that Gold Dream's head looks... weird.

Lovely portrait of Caravaggio. I fell in love with him as a 2yo when he was all black, but he is greying out in an attractive way.

Gosh, what beautiful markings he has right now! Are the chances good that he will end up nearly all white in his later years.....reminiscent of Unbridled's Song, Spectacular Bid, and Silver Charm?

All greys will eventually end up white.
The grey gene is really a pigment disease. It over produces pigment in the colour producing cells early on (why grey babies are hyper pigmented and why Caravaggio looked black but was likely bay..) until they actually burn out and go white.

I have noticed that sometimes, gray horses will retain darker gray points (socks, around eyes).

He literally looks like a giant Shetland pony. Did you watch the video? Him walking beside the train? Magnificent.
