Breeder 240 Report post Posted May 18, 2017 An interesting thread from Thoroughbred Village showing images of very different coloured horse bred in Japan http://forum.thoroughbredvillage.com.au/novellist-x-yukichan-filly_topic60236.html?SID=2401-44d393zad3cd77e4181f9376273148 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phar Lap Fan 50 Report post Posted June 10, 2017 More intrigued how Shirayukihime is grey. How is that possible when there are no grey genes in 3 preceding generations? Skewbald colouring of foal is probably due to a mutated gene. Wasn't there a chestnut horse racing in 1990s-2000s, possibly trained at Foxton, that had a large white patch?

Also interested in that - I suspect that it is an error in recording correct colours of foals at birth. [ or the unthinkable in our day and age, that perhaps the recorded parentage is not correct; this could all be checked relatively easily and I imagine they have the DNA microchipping system that we have??] Certainly warrants some checking!!
