Palomino Thoroughbred?

Question

I'm just wondering..

Has there ever been a Palomino Thoroughbred that has actually been raced?

Thanks everyone for your answers! :)

Answer 1

No ,, yes for quarter horses  

Answer 2

Thoroughbreds only come in solid colours such as bay, brown etc. You do get some exceptions, a few white thoroughbreds but they never do well when it comes to racing.  

Answer 3

According to the Jockey Club's website www.jockeyclub.com

"The following colors are recognized by The Jockey Club:

Bay: The entire coat of the horse may vary from a yellow-tan to a bright auburn. The mane, tail and lower portion of the legs are always black, unless white markings are present.

Black: The entire coat of the horse is black, including the muzzle, the flanks, the mane, tail and legs, unless white markings are present.

Chestnut: The entire coat of the horse may vary from a red-yellow to a golden-yellow. The mane, tail and legs are usually variations of the coat color, unless white markings are present.

Dark Bay/Brown: The entire coat of the horse will vary from a brown, with areas of tan on the shoulders, head and flanks, to a dark brown, with tan areas seen only in the flanks and/or muzzle. The mane, tail and lower portion of the legs are always black, unless white markings are present.

Gray/Roan: The Jockey Club has combined these colors into one color category. This does not change the individual definitions of the colors for gray and roan and in no way impacts on the two-coat color inheritance principle as stated in Rule 1(E).

Gray: The majority of the coat of the horse is a mixture of black and white hairs. The mane, tail and legs may be either black or gray, unless white markings are present.

Roan: The majority of the coat of the horse is a mixture of red and white hairs or brown and white hairs. The mane, tail and legs may be black, chestnut or roan, unless white markings are present.

Palomino: The entire coat of the horse is golden-yellow, unless white markings are present. The mane and tail are usually flaxen.

White: A rare color not to be confused with the colors gray or roan. The entire coat, including the mane, tail and legs, is white and no other color should be present."

This means that palominos do occur in the thoroughbred breed and it is recognizable as a palomino and registerable.  Solid colors are not a restriction, since they allow roan horses as well, and to be honest, a palomino is a solid color so you couldn't even rule them out by saying solid colors only.

Answer 4

If you mean Palomino has in color, there are some light colored thoroughbreds, normally would be called a gray.

If you mean a mixed breed Palomino with a thoroughbred, then it can not in no way be a registered thoroughbred and not legal for racing.  

Answer 5

Thoroughbreds do not come in palomino,dun or paint.
