"GLACIAL GOLD (USA)"

2008 ASB Cremello Thoroughbred Colt   ee CrCr aa

BOBS Nominated. Guaranteed to give you palomino or buckskin Thoroughbreds!

The wait is over.  Australia's very own Double Dilute Thoroughbred where colour is just the beginning. 

"A COLOUR GOLDMINE WITHOUT COMPROMISE"

 

Many think Glacial Gold is the most promising cremello Thoroughbred in the World today.  With perfect legs, excellent rump, wonderful neck & length of rein and his head is SUPERB.  As you can understand we are really impressed with how this colt has grown out (picture taken in paddock condition - imagine him in work!)  A full credit to his breeder Veterinarian Nancy McEachern of Colorworld Ranch USA.  Nancy also bred Profile In Style and we know her breeding program is spot on. 

Glacial Gold has NO agouti genes which means that we can 100% guarantee you your choice of colour with correct mare selection.  With the right mare we can guarantee you a palomino foal, guarantee a buckskin AND EVEN GUARANTEE A RARE SMOKEY BLACK THOROUGHBRED! (a black horse with a dilute gene).  These will be the first ever dilute thoroughbreds born in the Southern Hemisphere.  They will be a spectacular sight when hitting the racetracks and Thoroughbred Hack rings!! 

Race enthusiasts will be interested to know that although Glacial Gold’s dam in unraced, he comes from a strong and proven damline.  His second dam is an 8 times race winner and is by Hatchet Man – twice Group 1 winner, Group two winner and 10 wins in total with stakes of USD$359,490 (a huge amount of  money in the early 1970’s which would be equivalent to Millions today).  Her three half sisters are all winners also and all went on to produce black types!!! - CAFE DANCER $323,535; GALLO NERO (FR)  $242,900;  FAST SLEWZY $172,724 & Six Sense $159,986.

His third dam MACHINE (ARG) a G3 winner and came second in another 3 x Group 3 races with her sire MANTECON (ARG) also a black-type winner.

His fourth dam, MA COCOTTE (ARG) is Group 1 winner.  She has a 5S x 4D inbreeding to The Tetrarch (GB) also known as ‘The Spotted Wonder’, unbeaten 2yo Champion in England (7 starts 7 wins). Timeform rated him the Worlds No.1 two year old for the 20th Century.

Due to Glacial Gold's sirelines being the “colour lines”, not many on his immediate sireline have raced.  Of the ones who have raced, they have done well.  His grandam’s sire Social Wizard (CAN) is a stakes winner.  His sire, Snow Twist (ARG) is also a black-type winner and set a new track record at Panama, 6f in 1:10.2; and 5 1/2f in 1:04.1.  Distintiva (CHI),  the granddam of Guaranteed Gold, was Champion older mare in Columbia (1981) - Group 2 winner and 8 wins at 3 & 4.   

With Glacial Gold's lovely type and excellent athleticism, coupled with his desirable movement (from the shoulder), his offspring will be able to match it with solid coloured competitors. Pedigree Analysis had determined he should prove a great match for for Danehill / Danzig mares.   Some amateur first pics of him can be seen here.

Where does the colour come from?From the earliest of beginnings there were dilutes in the Thoroughbreds of Great Britain.  The earliest recorded being Darcey’s Yellow Turk 1665, and his dam Sedbury Mare in 1660.  One of Darcey’s Yellow Turk’s decendents is Cream Cheeks born in 1690.  Her descendant Silverlocks  went on the produce several dilute Tb’s by the noted Godolphin Arabian. One of these, Buffcoat, was exported to America.  Like Cream Cheeks, Silverlocks progeny also went on to produce a myriad of dilutes. 

Glacial Gold’s colour traces back to his Great, Great Grandsire’s Dam, Tootsie.  Born in 1946 and registered as dark bay (described as brown). She must have been smoky black or a dark brown buckskin. Her parentage-verified son (by a bay sire) was palomino. It is not known which of her parents was the dilute. Her sire Onomea was registered as chestnut, though palominos always have been registered as chestnut. Her dam, Hekuni was registered as brown and also could have been a smoky black or dark buckskin. There is no way of knowing without pictures or tests.

(Interestingly, the maternal sire of Onomea is named  ‘Gold Oak’ and his sire is named ‘Gold Heels’ – could this be a clue?  Gold Heels pedigree traces back to Goldfinder who traces back to Cream Cheeks. Perhaps this could be the dilute link??!)

Milkie, a 16.2hh 1966 chestnut JC registered colt is possibly the first known palomino registered thoroughbred with the Jockey Club and considered a founding father of palomino and buckskin thoroughbreds in the world today.
