RAINBOW QUEST

The son of Blushing Groom (Brilliant/Classic chef-de-race) has reached the milestone of 100 stakes winners (in US terms at least) following Daramsar’s win in the Grand Prix de Clairefontaine-Haras du Logis in France. As if to mark the occasion the stallion has also become the latest member of the chef-de-race (chief of breed) roster as a split Classic/Solid influence. In terms of what we in Britain refer to as black-type winners (Group and Listed races) he is the sire of 93 winners, 17 Group/Grade 1 winners and seven Classic winners from 144 black-type performers

I needed Dr Roman to tell me that Rainbow Quest sires long winded grass horses like he himself was?
Thanks for the update.

Rainbow Quest has been cold for awhile, but he was tremendous for some years. Still........he's made a Chef now? Meanwhile, Unbridled and Indy are waiting for some love from the good doctor.......

Forget Unbridled and Indy... im sure they will get their due, but how about the incredible Alleged? Top stallion in his day as well as a perenial top broodmare sire. I dont get it.

Butterface is a half daughter to Rainbow Quest. I guess thats where she gets her gate speed from.
