Oh no! Bad pony! Drobny escaped from his pasture and snuck into 3 mares' stalls and now I have 3 foals whose colors I don't know! Can you help me figure them out?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to examine each foal and using your knowledge of the stud and mare's color genomes, come up with your guesses at each foal's genome and the color name! Points will be accumulated and the first 2 place winners will get some fabulous prizes! (If other donors want to contribute any prizes, please direct message me!)

(hint hint: Drobny and all 3 of his girls are chimeric- that does not mean the foals themselves are necessarily chimeric though!)

Here's how the scoring will work!
Color name: 1 point for each correct name and 1 point extra if it is in the correct order as written on HaJ ***there are NO penalties for incorrect guesses
ex: a gray blue roan- if you type blue roan gray, you will get 3 points for having all three names but only 2 points extra because gray is not in the correct order for a total of 5 points out of 6 possible points.

Genome: 2 points for each correct set of alleles in correct order, 1 point for correct set of alleles but incorrect order, 1/2 point for 1 correct allele but missing other one (i.e. foal has 2 copies of flaxen but you wrote f/_) Pay attention carefully though- this is where you can lose points! If you miss a set of alleles the foal has (i.e. foal has 2 copy of flaxen and you didn't write at least f/_), 1/2 a point will be subtracted for every set of alleles the foal has but was not written in your guess.

White factor will be used as a tiebreaker so please include them in all your guesses!

This is an example of what I am looking for:

Name: TheBlueMoors
ID: 78

Foal 1: Gray Silver Amber Cream Champagne Roan Dun Splash Tobiano Frame Appaloosa Rabicano
genome: e/E a/A -/Cr -/D -/G -/Z -/Ch f/f -/Sty p/- R/TO -/SW1 -/LP O/- -/RB white factor: minimal

Foal 2: name here
genome: sequence here

Foal 3: name here
genome: sequence here

This contest will close to new entries August 14th and the winners will be announced August 16th.
