As per Medley, I haven't seen any modern gray Thoroughbred owing his or her gray coat color to him. But would really like to know if there is any case
But some time ago, under the following topic:

the following useful comments were posted:

Dear Collaborators,
Want to see a curiosity? Read this:
The following two gray Uruguayan sires owe their gray color, not to The Tetrarch, nor to his sire, nor to his grandsire (i.e. Le Samaritain), as everybody else, but from the very exiguous gray lineages of Master Robert. See for yourself:
THE FIRST CASE IS: AMODEO (URU) (gray H 1985):
01. by Snow Gabin (gr H 1977)
02. by Otoñal (gr H 1970)
03. by Gabin (gr H 1963)
04. from Ninon (gr M 1951)
05. by Tonto (gr H 1938)
06. from Pamplina (gr M 1927)
07. from Whirlanta (gr M 1918)
08. from Palanta (gr M 1912)
09. by Pippermint (gr H 1899)
10. from Mostaza (gr M 1895)
11. from Oxford Mixture (gr M 1870)
12. from Irish Belle (gr M 1859)
13. from Colleen Dhas (gr M 1842)
14. by Rust (gr H 1830)
15. by MASTER ROBERT (gr H 1811)
16. from Spinster (gr M 1805)
17. from Sir Peter Mare (gr M 1797)
18. from Bab (gr M 1787)
19. from Speranza (gr M 1778)
20. from Regulus Mare (gr M 1760)
21. from Carab Mare (gr M 1750)
22. by Crab (gr H 1722)
23. by Alcocks Arabian (gr H 1700)
-----------------------
THE SECOND CASE IS: DEMOSTENES (URU) (gray H 1981)
01. by Legendario (gr H 1972)
02. by Gabin (gr H 1963) (Ditto-->AMODEO's great-grand sire).

Enjoy.

This is the super-overwhelming gray source from which 99.9999% percent of all grays owe their grayness. Out of this huge number, about 85% percent, or perhaps more, owe it solely to the great, The Tetrarch.
See for yourself:
00. Practically every gray sire or mare
01. by The Tetrarch (gray H 1911) (***)
02. by Roi Herode (gray H 1904) (***)
03. by Le Samaritain (gray H 1895) (***)
04. by Le Sancy (gray H 1884) (***)
05. from Gem of Gems (gray M 1873)
06. by Stathconan (gray H 1863)
07. from Souvenir (gray M 1856)
08. by Chanticleer (gray H 1843)
09. from Whim (gray M 1832)
10. by Drone (gray H 1823).
11. by MASTER ROBERT (gray H 1811)

Stefan The Great's direct gray lineage may not sound that ultra rare when compared with the remote strain from Master Robert himself, but certainly the following gray strain deserves a good browsing.
Please check the removed gray strain of FINANCINGAVAILABLE (gray F. 2001), who goes back to the gray champion mare VALENCIENNES (gray M. 1927) and Stefan The Great.
Enjoy!
