I zoomed in on the picture, the name was fuzzy but it looks like it starts out as Hold...can't read the rest of the name.

I've just requested the caption text from the seller. I'll let you know what he says!

The seller on e-bay says the caption reads 'Holocauste' and his attendants.

Here's his pedigree http://www.pedigreequery.com/holocauste

He broke a leg during the Epson Derby and was destroyed. :cry:

Dear Aethervox,

Thank you so much for deciphering the name and the information.

Oh what a sad story. The name was assigned on the 19th century but it was prophetic to this horse. Since his sire was a gray, his bald face now makes sense; that is, he ought to be a whitening gray rather than a bald blazed solid colored equine.

Thank you much.

All the Best,
