Will a blaze or socks like Makybe Diva's foal has devalue him?

Question

I was looking at a photo of Makybe Diva's baby and was wondering if his huge blaze will make him worth less than without the blaze. And would people think 3 socks are unlucky?

I have no idea about horses!

Answer 1

beauty is in the eye of the (BEHOLDER) and a horse is only as good as the owner/ trainer teaches the horse to be, and a good horse just might have 3 socks and a blaze, i guess what I'm saying is that great horses come in all shapes, sizes, and (colors)

Answer 2

Some people are superstitious about horses - never trust a chestnut mare, etc - but as far as racehorses go handsome is as handsome does.

I've seen some beautiful racehorses who seem to epitomise everything about the breed: elegance, fluidity, noble; and I've seen some awful looking horses, but their ability is what matters.

With a pedigree like his, I doubt anyone will be that bothered about his looks!

There is a wonderful horse running over jumps here in GB called PANCAKE.  You'd never lose him in the dark!  He has a big white face, and four white stockings - not socks!  Unfortunately I cannot find a picture of him, so you'll have to take my word for it!
