Any pictures of this critter? Wouldn't seem to be a cremello from the pedigree. Maybe a max sabino, or Dom. white?

Yeah I thought it looked impossible on the pedigree.

Might be going to that sale, so I'll look out for this one if so...

I agree with both of you 100% percent. This case deserves further analysis. But anyway, GREAT FIND! Let's see what else appears. Thank you very much!

He was listed as a bay colt at the July Fasig-Tipton sale, so something is up. I hope that a photograph of him appears soon.

Most probably that's his true coat color. What amazed me was the extra work they devoted in writing such an extended word ("cremello") as opossed to "bay" :shock: .

Mystery solved, he's now in the updates as being bay!
