What other club(s) do you think that horse ought to go into?

If one is Black, I believe that he would not be eligible because he doesn't have "black" in his color name. I'm pretty sure that color name along with gene test results both have to be matched for a horse to be entered. Red Roans are not eligible for the Chestnut club, either, because chestnut is not included in their color name.

The DP club only accepts Liver Chestnuts and Chocolate Palominos because those colors have special names. Bay, Black, Buckskin, etc. will not go into that club even if they are carrying DP, once again, because there is no special name for their color, even though experienced players can usually identify them by phenotype (appearance). DP, of course, is one of the hidden genes that in non-testable.

I do however agree some of the restrictions aren't consistent, like a black/blue roan can't go in the black club, a chestnut/red dun can't go in the chestnut club, but a chestnut carrying silver can go in the silver club

Ok. I thought it might have been this but wasn't sure. Thanks.
