THE FACTOR --- sole rep. of Native Dancer gray genes?

Postby Jorge » Sun Feb 27, 2011 7:34 am

THE FACTOR (gray H 2008) http://www.pedigreequery.com/the+factor2
may well be the only top-notch gray horse owing his coat color exclusively to the genes of the great Native Dancer!

There may well be other meritorious cases, like say, SILVER WAGON, but with an asterisk because his gray genes are mixed with the genes of BLAZING COUNT.

Then there is GRUB (1983) but his color genes are sort of fading away. http://www.pedigreequery.com/grub

Then there is KUROFUNE, but he is too far away in Japan to really make an impact on this side of the Atlantic http://www.pedigreequery.com/kurofune

In short, can you cite other examples of top-notch entire gray horses owing their coat color exclusively to the genes of the great Native Dancer?

It is extremely difficult to come up with the name of a talented gray colt
owing his coat color solely to the gonads of Native Dancer; either tail-male lineage, female lineage, or through a "zig-zag" course.

Hi Jorge, I haven't seen many grey Bernardini's, have you? Even though his dam is grey, Cara Rafaela was a fine mare when she was running.
