I'd just like a link with an explanation and evidence.

You would like a link?

Unlike you, I actually learn a lot from talking to educated people at the racetrack. I know you're only like thirteen, and don't understand the world outside of the internet, but most people don't talk in links.

There are a lot of different theories, many without links even, and there is usually a differing amount of validity to them, but just because you ( or I ) don't necessarily agree with them doesn't make them compltely discountable.

You would like a link. Funny stuff.

Stick up your nose and go to the off-topic smack card all you want.

I just want to hear a rational case made for what you said.

The original comment was about a horse sired by El Prado.

None of El Prado's best offspring (Artie Schiller, Kitten's Joy, Medeglia D' Oro, and Borrego) were grey.

However, his millionaire son Chindi was a grey with identical color.

Chindi was 77-18-13-23 lifetime on the dirt - with earnings of over 998K.

He ran 4 times on turf - and never once hit the board.

Discreet Treasure is bred for turf on top and bottom - and is very much likely to be a better turf horse. However, I just don't believe that has anything to do with his sires skin color.

If there are any breeders on this board that
adhere to BTW priniciples, you got a business based
on 18th century genetics. Kinda scary.

It is a popular belief in horseracing that color and markings hint at passing on surface preference.

IIRC in "the works" show for the 2007 bc juvy, the guy was talking about how Wicked Style had socks similar to Trempolino, so that meant he was likely better on turf...
