Generous is probably the best (in terms of racing ability)

He came SO CLOSE to qualifying for APHA papers! Just born in the wrong year.

I do have a flaxen Sabino race bred TB mare. She had an accident on the track as a two year old so is now with me as broodmare. Her pedigree is in the data base too: Isarwolke is her name.

This is my daughter's 8 y.o. OTTB chestnut mare, probably a minimal sabino, has roaning, flaxen mane and reverse skunk tail. (sorry for the size, I'm computer challenged tonight. :) )

I just bought a chestnut filly with a flaxen mane and tail. She is now named Zimriyah.

She's by Pure Prize out of Song by Unbridled's Song and is inbred to Storm Cat. Does anyone know if the flaxen and mane and tail come from a recessive gene? Maybe she got it from the Storm Cat inbreeding...

I have seen various Storm Cats with flaxen manes and tails. He has that tendency. A couple of years ago a top-priced colt ultimately named Indigo Cat, was featured here. Storm Cat performed like a sabino does, but since he was a top notch sire, he was more known for his quality runners rather than for his sabino-ness. But Storm Cat certainly sired a considerable number of above-average white marked and flaxened gets. Alas he was never bred to Patchen Beauty. :wink:
