Dear Jamie, Thanks for bringing up this interesting case. He looks sort of small for a Thoroughbred, albeit small Thoroughbreds are often used as polo ponies....
Thanks so much Jorge! At least we know more of his pedigree. I guess he's the only pinto they are using right now. They don't like real big polo ponies....
I have managed to get a good bit of Vasco Piskui's pedigree completed as well as another solid chest. son of his sire and added a full bay solid brother too...

Name the grey sire who sired grey Classic winners, but also sired a pure-breeding bay who got Classic winners. [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hi In this day and age of Boodtests and DNA, the propensity for a stallion to throw to grey is still a strong studmasters guide. In 1994 we bred a filly to...
Interesting query.Made me remember the question on naming the stakes winning sire whose millionaire (in today's US currency) progeny were all grays, and he...

My mare Dawn Fashion (gray) was bred to Waquoit (gray) and I got a chestnut filly. Photos on my webpage of mother and daughter. _www.hilltopfarmva.com_ ...

Sorry to disappoint you Jamie. The foals were definitely swapped at birth- to the later embarrassment of one of Australia's leading studs. Incidentally, we did...
... Thanks very much, Tony, for providing the answer to the riddle. Now, maybe I can get *that* off my mind and go back to worrying about how a man could have...
OK you didn't say that the grey foal had two chestnut parents (yeah BIG clue!) or were DNA'ed. That is pure incompetence and they were extremely lucky to not...
Dear Collaborators, Want to try this question? Name the stakes winning sire whose million-dollar earners (in today's US currency) were all grays, and he only...
Hi- I'd like to thank Miss Peters for her fine portrait of Americus which appears at tbheritage.com, and I'll take a guess at Jorge's question .....Mahmoud.? ...
Hi, I was looking at the pedigree of derby hopeful Law Breaker and noticed the name Fairford (1936?) anybody got the goods on him ? Be delighted to know- ...
He was a beaten favorite in both the 2000 Guineas (7th), and the Epsom Derby (15th). Not much success at stud. ... From: "watnik" <hwatnik@...> Hi, I was...
He wasn't a 1936 foal. He was 1934. He started favourite for the 2000 Guineas, and finished down the field. He was an unconsidered 22/1 shot for the Derby...
This was posted on one of my pedigree groups and while I think I should know the answer, I have just no idea!! Anyone think of a list of possible suspects?...
With no more information than that, all you have to go on is the sound of the name and Italy...The name that immediately comes to mind is the undefeated Braque...
Could your friend be thinking of Braque? Bay, 1954, by Antonio Canale out of Buonamica by Niccolo Dell'Arca. Braque was an outstanding racehorse in Italy as a...
Geldings in the English Derby. I was amazed to see in an old, 1964, copy of Miller's Guide that the last gelding to run in the Derby was in 1901. Am I the last...
Curzon, second to Sir Visto in 1895, was a gelding. If I remember rightly, geldings were barred from 1904 - and quite right, too! Tony [Non-text portions of...
You are quite right Tony. Geldings were eligible to run in the (Epsom) Derby up to 1904 but were barred thereafter. However, the perennial argument between...
I have come across an article that mentions a Thoroughbred stallion named Captain Absolute. He was owned in New Brunswick in the first half of the 19th...
