Good luck with him... Nice to see another Glitter Please line stallion out there breeding besides my two (El Dorado and Golden Time).

Is he going under saddle? Has he been shown or will you be competing him?

Gigi Nutter had him going nicely U/S, but her time was pulled away from him for her clients and clinics, so we felt it was time he get to the breeding shed right away considering he is 11 this year.

His fee is quite high considering you can breed to a double dilute for less than that.

Back on March 21, 2009 I posted this message under another thread
( http://www.pedigreequery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24198&start=0 )
Perhaps it applies somehow again, but on this occasion as applied to GOOD CONFORMATION INSTEAD OF RACING ABILITY (as discussed here). But this is SOLELY intended as a general comment that may apply to many topics.

----------------

When I ponder on what it takes to a rare color to become mainstream it is important to relate to the trajectory once followed by the gray coat color.

The gray coat color was among the founders of the Thoroughbred breed but it took nearly 200 years until the appearance of a genuine top notch talented runner like champion The Tetrarch (gray H 1911) in order to catapult his phenotype into common spotlight, regardless of its coat color.

Even when this first echelon was achieved, this alone was not sufficient. It was necessary to wait until the appearance of a prepotent gray lineage of the caliber of Mahmoud (gray horse 1933) to really see effervescence on the gray color ---thanks to the many gray broodmares he produced. A couple of generations later, many good gray horses, mainly coming via good gray broodmares began tilting the scale in favor of the appearance of extraordinary gray champions like the ones we are accustomed seeing today. If you want to verify what I am saying, just go to the historical racing charts of the K-P-B participants and you will see a constant increase of so-so grays, then excellent ones, and their achievements, decade by decade. This comes as no surprise.

It is my opinion that in order for the whites, perlinos, and cremellos, to achieve top-notch standing, regardless of their color, we have to pinpoint and promote their exposure towards racing careers. Seeking to link our rare colored Thoroughbreds to the best racing lineages of the world and hoping for a Mahmoud factor to appear.

Jumping, dressage and other similar careers are really quite meritorious activities which we all should encourage with kind enthusiasm, because it is an important and necessary life support medicine. But for the sake of exponentially blossoming the endeavors of coat color breeding, in my opinion there is no shortcut but to aim directly to the top of the racing pyramid (namely, successful racing careers) and from there disseminate through the air all your phenotypical seeds (diseminate these rare coat colors) and then every step of the pyramid (all the different horse activities) will be influenced by these colors and the "maize" will grow..

Right now there is a living example that proves my point. It is the white filly YUKICHAN, recent winner of a Grade 2 Oaks race in Japan. Yukichan is a daughter of Shirayukihime, an unexpected white daughter of the perennial top-notch Japanese stallion, Sunday Silence. Since Shirayukihime was reagally bred from a meritorious racing family, she was sent to another reagally bred sire and track record holder named Kurofune to be bred. The produce was YUKICHAN. You can be sure that YUKICHAN will visit all the best breeding sheds in her country and most probably, if properly guided, her breeding influence will remain available and ready to extend for future generation. Not all our white Thoroughbreds are so blessed, but there is a good chance that YUKICHAN will promote her coat color and assist the rest of all white Thoroughbreds in exponential terms. But only God knows.

In short rare coat colors need to achieve 3 steps:

01. The appearance of an unusually good talented runner
02. The subsequent appearance of a profilic broodmare sire coming from the cited talented runner
03. The exponential appearance of many talented runners (future sires) coming from the daughters and descendants of the prolific broodmare sire.

In the meantime, we are all very proud of the extraordinary efforts breeders like you and many others are devoting to the production of rare phenotyped Thoroughbreds. Right now, we are very fortunate to witness the existance of some of the finest examples you and others are producing.

You are correct Jorge, I agree 100%.

Interestingly and just recently I have been contacted by two private race horse breeders that are looking forward to breeding to Legacy and Shine (Twentyfour Kt Gold), strictly for running, and they can't wait to see them win at big tracks! There is a desire for something "new" to be offered, IMO color is the key. As you have said Jorge, the running blood has got to be there up close in the pedigree on the mares, not 4 and 5 generations back. In my case, we have boys that have never set foot on a track, or been ridden, but the quality is there, and some breeders are smart enough to know it can be done. Some TB racing folks aren't afraid to "get caught" owning or training color for the track. Word is getting around, but there are still racing folks that don't even know that color exists yet, I know, I speak to someone at least once a month who tells me they never "heard of such a color on a TB" before, then I direct them to our website and they are at least intrigued.
