Interesting case. But more revealing is that he has a full sister
named FLY ME TO THE MOON. A good example on how different versions
pop up.

I wouldn't even dare to guess on this one as I don't know the bottom half of the pedigree at all. That being said it would not surprise me of Galileo himself was responsible.

DEJEBEL (FR)(Bay H 1937) is the influence to watch here. I have been following him for several years ---his name on this pedigree is not a chancy presence. The same with the well-known Never Bend (Bay H 1960).

Thats very interesting Jorge I do know that our tobiano race colt is a splash carrier from the traites he displays that I learnt about from you guys he has a very black tail but the tip of it has white right at the bottom his blaze is wide and bottom heavy and he has four white feet,chin splashes as well his grand dam is Milan Mill the mother of mill reef and I suspect his grandsire as well Dr Fong as I know of another oudly marked granddaughter of his.
so I suspected The mill reef lines for a while.

It's Djebel, Jorge, not Dejebel.

Really georgous colt!

We have a 2010 Galileo colt who also is rather colored. No belly spot though...

Thank you so much for the valuable clarification. Yes, its DJEBEL, and
here is his pedigree: http://www.pedigreequery.com/djebel
