Accphotography has it right. He's a rabicano who happens to look very much like a genetic roan. Years ago, before we understood so much about genetics, he'd probably be called a roan (or even a gray).
A genetic roan would never have even a minimal coontail, however, and his is hardly that. I think it's called a "Gulastra plume".
That his dam is noted for being loudly marked and that other members of her family produce loudly marked horses makes it unlikely that he's a mutation.

There is a very revealing angle of LUCKY CHAPPY at frame 2:30/3:10 (actually from frame 2:30 to 2:35).

THANKS!
Dohh... I had Excaper in that race. How could I forget?
Somebody bet on the gray!
Whenever I think about HAPPY CHAPPY another horse already referenced here comes to my mind because the phenotype of this other horse is as strange and similar to HAPPY CHAPPY except that this one has a chestnut base. I am referring to the horse appearing

How handsome is he???
. . . and the "Shack" just for good measure

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
CountRaja, Thanks for those quite interesting photos of LUCKY CHAPPY
