Whatablaze aka Tosca becomes The UKs first Painted Throughbred Mare

 In 2008 the International Stud Book Committee (ISBC), which represents the 67 Approved Thoroughbred Stud Books worldwide, decided to add the colour description ‘ painted ‘ to those ISBC Members use to record thoroughbred foals. This decision was made in recognition of the growing number of thoroughbred bloodlines, mainly coming out of the USA, which produce foals which exhibit white markings on their bodies and not just on their head and limbs which is commonly the case. In due course therefore the description ‘ painted ‘ will appear in racecards but in the meantime the Angroves Stud has asked for the colour description of their mare Whatablaze to be altered to ‘ painted ‘. Her passport is currently being changed and our official database updated

Reliance Tosca's great Grand sire shows the same gene traites as Tosca but smaller.

What a Blaze has raced on the flat over 2 miles but seemed to prefer sprints. What a Blaze is bred to be a sprinter but is to big for that job being 16.2hh.
