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! :D

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

http://www.a1handicapping.com/JN5/hou010805.html
(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.

On Kandahar Run's chances, read this article:
