and

MAIDSTONE MIXTURE

Any update on this pair?

Not from this period but a talented gray from a time when good grays were really scarce: http://www.pedigreequery.com/munden+point

Another great performance: Natagora, winner of the One Thousands Guineas managed to finish third (after leading) in the French Derby! Very Happy

Just a pause within this thread:

These are perhaps the last gray tail-male strains surviving from Native Dancer. Will keep on looking:

According to the following thread

(second race)

the latest gray tale-male descendant from Native Dancer
may well be TEMPS GHOSTLY STAR (2001), who was owned, bred
and trained by Dan W. Uglow of Texas.
