<3 She's a real threat to take the Mile.

Breakfast at the Breeders Cup had a piece about Zandon, and mentioned he was a true black, which on video he's always appeared to be.

When going through pedigrees of BC starters earlier, I saw Akarad in Endlessly's pedigree. Picture at link.

Is Mostahdaf a true black?

Is Mostahdaf a true black?

He is pretty dark, but also looks mahogany in some photos. I don’t see black points (like a bay).

[Mylute]

The Mohagany could be sun bleaching right?

Kachidoki, 2021 colt by Mikki Glory (Deep Impact) out of Luna Felina (Storm Cat). Reg. as black.

I am pretty sure Banneker (Not This Time - Bosserette) is black. I was really taken with his workout I saw on TDN yesterday at Palm Meadows.

He runs with his head held a bit lower. Can't find the workout video right now.

Also, here's the JBIS profile for Kachidoki.

Banneker is lovely. Substantial 2yr old, and definitely black
I'm finding Not This Time not only looks like a leggier version of his grandsire, he's also siring horses that really have that Storm Cat look, more so than Giant's Causeway

[Flanders]

I'm unsure of this one. He is registered dark bay but the first pic I saw of him on twitter, he looked black. Some of the pics he looks super dark bay though but so many he looks black, lots of pics at link.

Forlanini, 2021 dkb colt (Epiphaneia - Linate, by Stay Gold)

She’s no spring chicken but $180,000 for a mare from a decent family in foal to Justify seems like a good deal. Considering it sounds like the 2024 fee of $200,000 has already expired.

[Justahorse]

Reckless L J looks to be black he's so dark

Rhymes Like Dimes (Union Jackson - Sleek) just ran at Gulfstream listed as dark bay/brown but he looked black from the stands. May be just the Bernardini in him ? https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing ... dimes/2019

Kachidoki, 2021 colt by Mikki Glory (Deep Impact) out of Luna Felina (Storm Cat). Reg. as black.

He’s a great combination of black and white. Thanks for sharing.

Hip 996 of the Keeneland November sale Balpool is registered dark bay/brown, but she's pretty close to black. Uncaptured X Remington Rose X Take Charge Indy. She's a minor stakes winner.

[Starine]

Balpool looks pretty black to me.
