Semi related to this thread.

Does anyone remember an American TB that was black most of the time, but under some light conditions looked Chestnut? I'm thinking it was either Domino, or a Domino line horse. Did a quick look through my library and couldn't find the reference.

This comes to mind because of a comment from Donna about her smokey black filly changing colors.

Leads one to wonder about all those brown TB's and if some of them were really smokey blacks.

alezan,

if you apply to your JC studbook to get the information about Sylfou like I did, then you will get the following information:

Sylfou xx, Chestnut stallion, bred by M. Henry de Catheu, France

He has then been sold to the states stud Somogysard in Hungary from where I much later bought a mare that had him as great grand sire in her pedigree.

Did Sylfou breed on in TB's? Or only in the Warmboods?

If you click Progeny on his pedigree you find several TB offspring.

And still I cannot seem to find him in Haras Nationaux
