    Join The Dots - one of only three skewbald (or painted) thoroughbred racehorses in training in GB in 2012.

    Regrettably none of the trio have yet shown any form. But they look nice.

    Link.

    Lammtarra. A rather forgotten but beautifully bred horse by a Derby winner out of an Oaks winner who became only the second racehorse to win the Derby, the King George and the Arc. Sold to Japan he was not a success at stud but his owner purchased him back to live out his retirement at Dalham Stud.
