This is over at the TVG site. Part of a longer post about horses from the 1930 Bloodhorse.
Calico Dick is the horse in question. by Pennant out of Nemesis, registered name Rhadamanthus.
Bred by C V Whitney. Raced as a steeplechaser.
Any guesses on the pattern? Or where it came from?
1930 Colt with Bling
Moderators: Roguelet, WaveMaster, Jorge, Sunday Silence

Pennant is very protagonical here.
If you examine the more radical phenotype of the white mare,
White Beauty (1963), http://www.pedigreequery.com/white+beauty
you will note that she was by the flamboyant Ky Colonel, who was a son of
Balladier, son of Black Toney, son of Peter Pan.
Note that Peter Pan is also the second broodmare sire
Of Ky Colonel. Why the reference you may ask?
Because Pennant, sire of Rhadamanthus is a very protagonical
presence, wherever you come across him, because Peter Pan is the source.

At the present I consider more appropriately wiser for me to limit
my opinions to phenoptype descriptions and to merely pinpoint
common ancestors, thus avoiding entering into genotypes. But yes, I have great respect for the opinions of all of our participants.
