Apparently not colour has come from the many english mares and also through the arab stallions that were originally used when producing the thoroughbred man many moons ago in England. We forget that the thoroughbred is a recently developed breed. So of course you are going to get throwbacks etc. My thoroughbred I have just discovered is actually a sabino and there are many of those around. White flecks and markings through coat, unusual head markings which goes under the lip and chin.
I have found this topic very interesting. Go and have a look on some of the links put on this thread at some of the coloured australian thoroughbred who have been bred.
