Sabino foal sighting!

Postby CountRaja » Thu Aug 07, 2008 1:31 pm

08' chestnut filly by Giants Causeway out of Comeon Dixie has a big irregular blaze that is almost over her eyes, two separate chin spots and two high stockings in the back up to the hocks in typical sabino fashion. Big girl too!
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,

Thank you very much for the valuable watch.
Certainly, Giant's Causeway is a bona fide sabino. The mare is also a contributor.

Our boy, Arctic Cielo has produced 100% sabinos so far...Ive attached a few pictures of some of his foals this year. Some are minimal sabino, and others are maximal :D

Curlin himself appears to be thinking, "Yes, I'm all that and more."
Somebody bet on the gray!

Very rarely you come across a bay colt with that kind of high leg markings on all four legs, not to mention that kind of “bebeblanco” lower lip. He is by Rockport Harbor out of Lorettine. Take a look: http://obssales.com/augpreview/2012/photo.php?hip=

He went for $30,000.

Then again, in addition to the bling, his dam is stakes-placed, his 2nd dam is a G1-winning multiple graded stakes-winning earner of more than $800,000 & his 3rd dam is a 1/2 sister to 3 y.o. champion filly Chris Evert. I've seen some crop-out spots on other horses in that family, too.

It will be interesting to keep an eye on him.

I actually think that's a very reasonable price for him. I would have expected to have to pay more.
