bay roan

Name: Perfect Mirth
References: (Phenotypically) True Roan Thoroughbreds: A New Mutation The Jockey Club has incorrectly registered grey Thoroughbreds as roans for a number of years. That changed with the New Zealand-bred stallion Catch A Bird (Noble Bijou x Showy Countess, by Showoff) born in 1982. A bay with bold white stripes that looked like reverse brindling, Catch A Bird was quite a sensation at the 1983 Magic Millions sale and on the track as well. He became even more of a conundrum when he sired four foals that phenotyically appeared to be true, dark-headed roans. In retrospect, now that we understand the nature of the KIT gene and its potential for mutation, it seems likely that Catch A Bird is responsible for a new roan mutation.
