Dinna Saddle the gray who looks like Vigors

Postby Jorge » Mon May 26, 2008 4:51 pm

Came across an Australian Thoroughbred named DINNA SADDLE (gray gelding 2000) and tried to complete his pedigree here, but some information is still missing.

His color made remember the phenotype sported by the great VIGORS (1973).

See DINNA SADDLE's photo at:

I took the liberty of filling in the pedigree for Dinna Saddle using data from the australian stud book at http://www.studbook.org.au/

Hope you don't mind.

The picture is nice, but the genetic info is a bit off, or at least does not conform to the standard expression of genetic terms here in the USA.

And the article doesn't seem to get that there are two sets of genes involved in producing blacks and bays. Odd.
