Zenyatta's Polka-Dot Socks

Jorge,

I never noticed this because of her leg wraps...but Zenyatta has some perfectly round black spots in her hind socks.

Good shot of them here:

Gosh you have to admire her pedigree! Not only that but those spots with the roaning around them and her sire side of her pedigree offer a very good chance of producing a sabino or white TB if her chosen mate carried the same amount of color genetics in his back round. Woo-Hoo!!!
