True or false: In 1988, Winning
Colors became the first roan to win the Kentucky Derby (G1). The
answer is true because Winning Colors was registered as a roan by
the Jockey Club. The answer is also false because Winning Colors
was genetically a gray, not a roan.
In 1993, the Jockey Club introduced
a new color category for registration purposes by combining two
old categories. Henceforth, all horses that would previously have
been registered as "gray" or "roan" would be registered under the
umbrella of "gray or roan." This was all well and good except for
the fact that, outside of Thoroughbred breeders, the rest of the
horse world long has been aware that gray and roan are two unrelated
color patterns controlled by two completely different genes.
Gray is a pattern of white hairs infiltrating
a coat of any base color (bay, chestnut, brown, black, etc.), that
steadily lightens with age. The gray gene progressively blocks pigmentation
of the coat. Roan is identified as white hairs infiltrating any
base coat color from birth but the overall effect does not lighten
with age. The most important difference between the two is that,
outside of seasonal coat changes, roan is non-fading, while the
very nature of gray is the fading color. In other words, if the
horse is turning white, it is due to the gray gene not the roan
gene.
Therefore, it is easy to figure out
that Winning Colors, who won the Kentucky Derby while she was still
a pretty rose gray but who is now a silvery white, must therefore
actually be a gray. Likewise, Vigors, Heavenly Cause, Al Hattab,
and Geisha (dam of the great Native Dancer), all of whom were registered
as roan, turned white with age and thus were, in actuality, grays.
In fact, it is safe to say that nearly
all Thoroughbreds registered as roans in the last 60 years or so
were actually grays. This has led to another sweeping generality
that may also be untrue. There are those who argue that roan is
not a valid color in the Thoroughbred and that the term should be
thrown out of the registry altogether. While the term roan has been
misused in its confusion with gray, there is evidence to indicate
that some Thoroughbreds do carry genetics for roan color patterns.
These horses do not display the classic or true roan patterns found
in some other breeds such as the Quarter Horse, but they have roaning
to some degree and seem to pass on this phenomenon to their offspring.
Different patterns, different genes
We have already given the description
for roan, a non-fading mix of base color hairs with white hairs.
This is the description that horsemen have used for centuries. But
a deeper study into this color scheme reveals that there are different
kinds of roaning patterns that are the result of different modifying
genes. One might refer to a horse as spotted, although it may be
either tobiano, overo, leopard Appaloosa, or dusted with Bend Or
spots. These are all spotted patterns, but they are not spotted
in the same way and are the result of different genes. Likewise,
different genes can manifest the roan pattern in one form or another
without the horse being a true roan in the genetic sense of carrying
the Rn gene.
The true roan is often seen in Quarter
Horses, some draft breeds, and a few other light horse breeds. These
horses have the classic roan pattern, with the white hairs evenly
distributed over most of the body but with the head and lower legs
appearing darker because they are unaffected and so show the true
coat color. This pattern is not seen in Thoroughbreds (*I since
stand corrected), but there are two other forms of roaning that
can appear in Thoroughbreds in varying degrees.
One of these is called "sabino" and
the other "rabicano." Sabinos are better known because they are
harder to miss. The pattern is characterized by extensive white
markings of the face and legs, usually with ragged borders, and
often accompanied by some roaning on the flanks and belly. The sabino
pattern is what makes the Clydesdales so flashy and is also popular
among the Tennessee Walking Horse breed. In fact, many of the flashy
strawberry roans in that breed are actually sabinos and not true
roans.
In Thoroughbreds, horses carrying
the sabino gene often have more than the average amount of white
markings, and chestnuts also tend to be much flashier than bays.
Northern Dancer carried the sabino gene, as evidenced by his own
crooked blaze, snip and three white feet, and the many flashy chestnuts
he sired, such as Vice Regent, Northern Taste, and The Minstrel.
His granddam, Almahmoud, was a blazed-faced chestnut with stockings
and is one of the most likely sources of the gene in his pedigree.
Sabino can manifest itself in varying
degrees, perhaps reflecting an additive effect if a sabino gene
comes from both parents. The top sprinter Time to Explode is a chestnut
sabino with a blaze, high hindleg stockings, and a belly splash
with some roaning on his barrel. A more radical version is the unraced
Airdrie Apache (by Naevus-Not Quite White, by Northjet [Ire]), garishly
splashed with white and red. He is a registered Thoroughbred, in
fact registered as a chestnut, but he is also double registered
with the American Paint Horse Association, because he is very nearly
50% white. Some of Airdrie Apache's offspring take sabino to the
next level and are solid white, or nearly so, with blue or brown
eyes (to distinguish them from albinos, which have pink eyes). In
most cases, white Thoroughbreds are actually one big sabino-induced
white marking.
Original sin
The other roaning variant, rabicano,
shows up in Thoroughbreds and other breeds as white hairs or ticking
mixed in their base coat, especially prominent along the flanks
and in the hairs at the root of the tail. The roaning on the flanks
can sometimes be extensive enough to create a vertical striping
pattern along the ribs. The hairs at the base of the tail often
appear as bars or rings, giving the coloration the name "coon tail"
or "skunk tail." This explains the colorful name of a horse found
in Volume 1 of the General Stud Book, the Ringtail Galloway, sired
by Curwen's Bay Barb and out of an unnamed mare by Hip.
This rabicano coloring has popped
up in some of the best of the breed. Cox's Ridge displayed this
pattern in his bay coat, as did Slew City Slew, Doyoun, Bois Roussel,
Pilate, Stedfast, St. Frusquin, Lesterlin, and Venison. The phenomenon
in Thoroughbreds is better known as "Birdcatcher ticks," named for
the famous stallion who displayed the same markings so vividly.
Birdcatcher was foaled in 1833 and was a dark chestnut with a narrow
blaze and a stocking on his right hind. A contemporary description
of him notes that he was "chestnut, flanks ticked with gray hairs,
a bunch of white hairs at the butt of his tail."
Yup, that's a rabicano. Birdcatcher
was sired by Sir Hercules (1826), who was described as a black horse
with silver hairs in his coat, especially his flanks and hindquarters,
and at the root of his tail.
Digging through the first volume of
the General Stud Book, the writer found at least 80 horses listed
as roan. There did not seem to be the modern confusion between gray
and roan; in fact, very few of these had gray parents. One of the
earliest was a stallion referred to as Gresley's Bay Arabian, also
known as Bay Roan. Apparently, this horse was a bay with some roan
markings that were worth noting but not enough to describe as his
base color.
Another was Miss Layton, also known
as Lodge's Roan Mare (1731), by the flashy chestnut Partner out
of a mare (color unknown) by The Cardigan Colt. This mare produced
several roan offspring to the cover of the famous Regulus. There
was a sister to Lodge's Roan Mare, who was also probably roan, since
she appears as the dam of several roan offspring by Regulus and
Cade, both bays. A third was the unnamed 1733 filly by Hip out of
the Large Hartley Mare. Hip's color is unknown, but the Large Hartley
Mare was chestnut.
Two more were Joan (1757) and her
unnamed sister (1759), both by Regulus out of the mare Silvertail,
by Whitenose (doubtless eponymously named). Both parents were said
to be bay, but the dam's name reveals that she was probably also
the owner of a tail with silver hairs in it, typical of a rabicano.
It is worth noting that Silvertail's third dam was by Gresley's
Bay Arabian (a.k.a. Bay Roan).
Bald but not hairless
The most remarkable thing about
these early roans is the frequency with which the sires Regulus
and Cade appear in their pedigrees. Even without those tracing back
to the known roan mares noted above, the vast majority of the roans
in Volume 1 of the General Stud Book have close and often
multiple crosses of Regulus and Cade. Later in time, white
hairs at the base of the tail were referred to as "Match'em
arms" after Cade's son Matchem, who seems to have either displayed
them himself or passed them on to his offspring.
Look closer at the pedigrees of Regulus
and Cade. Both were sons of the Godolphin Arabian and out
of mares by The Bald Galloway. The Bald Galloway was notably a brother
to a mare named Points, who was the granddam of the Large Hartley
Mare, a mare who was known to produce a roan foal.
The Bald Galloway's color and markings
are unknown, and his pedigree nearly so. He was by St. Victor's
Barb (pedigree unknown) out of Grey Whynot, by Whynot (by Fenwick's
Barb out of a Royal Mare), and his second dam was a Royal Mare.
His name hints that he was a horse with a lot of white markings.
In those days, the term bald was not used ot refer to a lack of
hair but instead, as we call a horse with a broad blaze, "bald-faced,"
the term was used to describe excess white. The famous mare
Bald Charlotte (1721) was a blazed-faced mare with hind stockings.
In Old English, "bald" means "bright" or "shiny,"
which could refer to a hairless head or flashy markings (like a
bald eagle), just as we say a horse with a lot of white markings
has "a lot of chrome." In other words, it is very possible
that The Bald Galloway was a blazed-faced horse, or one with stockings,
or both. He may have been a sabino. He may have also been a rabicano,
with extensive white hairs on his flanks and white in his tail,
since we know the rabicano can have a silvery sheen to its coat.
The Bald Galloway had a daughter named Silverlocks.
While guessing that The Bald Galloway
and his sister Points were possibly sabinos or rabicanos may be
a stretch, the same conclusion could also explain why Regulus and
Cade, both out of daughters of The Bald Galloway, might sire so
many roan horses. Since many of these roans came from parents neither
gray nor roan, we have to presume that one or both of their parents
were minimally marked rabicanos, perhaps, like Cox's Ridge or Birdcatcher,
just with white ticks in their coat and white hairs at the root
of their tail. And, quite possibly, when a minimally marked rabicano
is crossed with a minimally marked rabicano, the result can be a
strikingly marked rabicano who appears for all intents and purposes
to be a roan.
Contrary Evidence
There are a few of these eye-catching
horses in the American Stud Book. One was Carrier Pigeon,
a foal of 1937 who was registerd as a "chestnut roan."
Carrier Pigeon was an attractive chestnut with a lot of white hairs
in his coat, especially along the flanks, and white hairs at the
root of his tail. He seems to have passed his rabicano gene on to
hisdaughter Corday, who in turne passed it on to her daughter, Our
Martha, who was also a chestnut with extensive scattered white hairs
and white hairs in her tail. Our Martha produced Cox's Ridge, who
had Birdcatcher ticks and passed them on generously to his offspring.
Carrier Pigeon was by the dark chestnut Equipoise out of the bay
mare Rockdove, by Friar Rock, a chestnut.
Another startlingly marked Thoroughbred
was Pilate, who was a chestnut with white and gray hairs scattered
throughout his coat, and dolloped with dark, egg-shaped Bend Or
spots as well. Pilate was a son of Friar Rock out of the gray mare
*Herodias, by The Tetrarch. Before you point fingers at the weirdly
marked The Tetrarch as the source of all strange coat colors, please
compose yourselves and remember that Carrier Pigeon's dam was a
daughter of Pilate's sire, Friar Rock. To add to the genetic possibilities,
*Herodias's dam was Honora, a daughter of the chestnut sabino Gallinule,
who appears in the background of many flashy Thoroughbreds.
Another example is the Maryland stallion
Berkley Prince, who was originally registered as a roan but was
later changed to chestnut. The "Prince of Elberton" Farm
in Maryland had extensive whie ticking and white at the root of
his tail. He was by the bay Rash Prince (by Prince John) and his
dam was the bay Betrayed, by Tip-Toe. Betrayed was a daughter of
the mare Pyrrha, by Pilate. Rash Prince was a son of Prince John,
a chestnut with a blaze and white hairs in his coat, but not white
in his tail. Prince John threw a lot of excess white and more than
a few suspiciously roany-looking animals such as Mandate. Interestingly
enough, Prince John also goes back in direct female line to Pilate's
dam, *Herodias. Rash Prince went back in female line to Friar's
Carse, by Friar Rock. (Friar's Carse is the dam of War Relic, who
also had white ticking in his coat.) Berkley Prince's best offspring
was the top mare Weber City Miss, dam of Slew City Slew, who also
has rabicano characteristics and throws Birdcatcher ticks with regularity.
A particularly colorful case is that
of the 1980s stakes winner Contrary Rose. Win photos of Contary
Rose show what would otherwise be described as a strawberry roan;
however, the mare was registered as a chestnut. Rose's head and
upper legs were solidcolored, but her midseciton was several shades
lighter, overrun with a mix of white hairs, and the top of her tail
was like a bright white brush. She was a very gaudy affair, with
a broad blaze and four stockings, both up over her kness in front.
I would suggest that Contrary Rose was not only a rabicano, but
she was also a sabino. Contrary Rose was a most obvious strawberry
roan.
Contrary Rose was by Seat of Power,
another horse with a lot of chrome, a blaze and stockings, which
is unusual on a dark bay or brown, as he was. His dam was the top
mare *Beaver Street by *My Babu, and the next dam was Wood Fire,
a daughter of Bois Roussel, who was also covered in Birdcatcher
ticks and had a white-topped tail. Contrary Rose's dam was Kari
Contrary, who was 5x5 to Friar Rock, once through the mare Tiens,
bred very much like Carrier Pigeon, being by Equipoise's sire Pennant
and out of a daughter of Friar Rock. All things seem to point to
Friar Rock as a rabicano carrier.
So, we come to the end of our little
roan adventure. We have learned that the confusion over gray and
roan is a silly one created by a misunderstanding of basic terminology.
If the horse is getting lighter with age, then it is a gray, pure
and simple. But we have also seen that roaning patterns do exist
in the Thoroughbred and have since the beginning of the breed, thanks
to the presence of the sabino and rabicano genes. So, the question
becomes, when is a roan not a roan? Apparently, the answer is, "When
it's a Thoroughbred."
