Interesting trivia - In National Velvet "The Pie" was called so because of his piebald marking in the book, but when they did the movie they used a horse of no marking. Thus, in the movie they should have called him "The Chestnut" or "The Nut"

I checked with the editor of a "Major Horsie Magazine" and she confirmed it is a Paint.

Since it is racing one can assume it's a TB or a QH, but did she actually look at the horses registry papers?

You can't be wrong to say Pinto since a pinto can be a Paint, but a Paint is not always a Pinto.

Here in Pocatello, in our 4 weekend season I have seen all breeds race...QH, T-breds as well as appaloosas and paints. I'm not sure if the appaloosas are mixed but they race against the QHs. Could be a this part of the country type of thing.

LOLOLOL- she said the same thing!!!

She said that if it's racing, it has to be 100% QH blood.
