I have been watching the Tattersalls sales from Newmarket on Racing Uk and online. Looking through todays lots i noticed that lot 311 is not the usual bay or Chestnut but a Cremello I didn't think that cremello TB's existed. This is the premier sale at newmarket so I would doubt that t is an anomolly ie colour bred. It has a bit of a pedigree, not one of the pinto bred horses that are several gens removed from 'current' bloodlines.
Any thoughts? Should go through in about 2 hrs time.

The cream gene exists in at least one line of American TBs, and there is *said* to be one in Hungary too, though I believe that is of American ancestry also.
Most of the American palomino and creamello TBs are sport horses - offhand, I don't know of one that has much (if any) of a track record.
Pinto TBs are sabino pinto, like Arabs - not surprising, really! I have seen one obvious sabino pinto - The Olympian, I believe - racing here in the UK, but that was over 10 years ago now.
It is a US bred colt, but from my (albeit limited) knowledge of US bloodlines the sire lines on both sides are very 'normal' and any unusual blood must come from way back. Interesting!
well, I waited in to see him go through, was late picking my son up from school............but he was BAY! how boring, I guess someone ticked the wrong box on the form.
Hi, there was a Palomino sabino TB colt in the UK but he is now in France he's called The Gold Fox, I saw him the other day & he's only 2 & very striking! He was a US import & his dad is classed as an all white palomino (apparently the only one in the world) & dam was a chestnut sabino & grandsire was a cremello. So yes they do exist!
