Article on brindle TBs

Postby StayOutFront » Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:54 am

Jorge, especially, might find this of interest. I did an article about a current brindle TB that's on www.drf.com. Daily Racing Form links aren't easy to post (I can't figure out how), but if you go to www.drf.com and put "brindle" in the search engine, it comes up - not sure if you need to sign in).

It's about a lovely brindle TB filly named Remark - love her! (click on little pics to see large)

Wow!! The way it stops dead in its tracks at the middle line is fascinating. I won't if that's further evidence of her being chimeric (I bet it is).

Thanks for doing the link, Toral! When I tried it, it just kept coming up weirdly. I wonder why...hmmmm.... ;)

ACC, that is so fascinating - her stripes and spots are definitely up to, but not crossing, the middle line. The chimeric thing was the only thing that made 'sense,' but of course none of it really makes sense to me! Ha!

On Slewcy's Gale, I only saw stripes on the one side, too - very prominent, raised black stripes. They said she had a few subtle ones on her other side, but I didn't see them (nor did they show in my photos). Doesn't mean they aren't there, though - the lighting was pretty horrid when I photographed her. :)

StayOutFront,

Thank you so much for informing about this (future) mare! :D
I am still searching this case. Will comment later after brainstorming on this very interesting case. Thanks again!
Kindest regards,

Just for starting...

Remark is heavily sabino dosed from Hyperion and Royal Charger, not to mention other sources.

That is so odd she has such a prominent marking on her left side, and absolutley none on the right. Like 2 different horses.
A woman needs 2 animals in her life-the horse of her dreams, and a jackass to pay for it!

WOW..........has anyone ever seen an APHA horse split down the middle like that? I haven't! It's like this fillie's color DNA was blocked from dividing on a cellular level during embryonic division...........another spectacular oddity, but possible individual!

Jorge, there looks to be many shared horses in the pedigree of CATCH A BIRD http://www.pedigreequery.com/catch+a+bird2 going back 5 to 10 generations.

I already mentioned about the alleged existence of another “brindle” Thoroughbred on the following thread:

http://www.pedigreequery.com/forum/view ... ow+brindle

but this is only known through “hearsay” evidence, which cannot be confirmed.

But anyway, here is the name of the case:
