Interesting site with many race results photos from Spain.
Apropos, never seen such a high number of grays finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd. :D

that's a great blog I always look at... and this one too

http://turfarganda.blogspot.com.es/

(in this one you can see individual photos of the horses before racing)

I know a grey filly that runs here in Spain that you would like..she is very outstanding, looks like a ghost lol. Plus she is from a Canarian owner, but races in mainland Spain only.

Thank you so much for these interesting links.

Aside from all those beautiful grays, I also enjoyed these two sabinos:

Izabarre is by Dyhim Diamond, a great sabino stallion spanish breeders recently lost. He died of heart attack a month ago. Most of his offspring is sabino, Izabarre is the more outstanding one.

Besides the DD progeny...other "flashy" sabinos we have in Spain ... Texedu (Bering x Texas Regent)... Zarievich Nuñez (Governor Brown x Creme Chartreuse) ... Templario (Observatory x Norina) ... Pendenciero (Leroidesanimaux x Trampoli)...and others

I make my own database of sabino racers I see here ;)

and other nice grays for you...

grey filly, winner yesterday in Madrid over 1000m

Her name is JUNGLE (Dark Angel x Forest Prize)

She raced twice in England in 2011, and made her debut in Spain being 7th in February. This is her second race here, and she won...so a nice start.
