Yes and no. The term grey roan comes mostly from the Jockey Club, it was used when horsemen did not have genetic color tests available to tell what color was what. Since a horse roans out as it gets older people found it hard to tell if it was grey or roan in time to list it's permanent color, so they would just say it was a' grey roan'. However the Thoroughbred does not come in true roan so the listing was false. There can be instances of other breeds being born a solid color, then roaning out a bit then suddenly they begin to grey,because they carry the grey gene mutation. So a horse can be roan then turn grey out over time. Remember grey and roan are both color modifiers and not colors in themselves.

Roan filly who won the Kentucky Derby?
No genetically roan thoroughbred has ever won the Kentucky Derby. However, the filly Winning Colors was registered as Roan/Gray. The Jockey Club groups Grays and Roans in the same category even though they are very different genetically. Winnings Colors was actually genetically a gray, so technically no roan has ever won the Kentucky Derby.

What are the genes if you cross a blue roan with a gray covearo horse?
True Blue Roan would be aaE-Rn- A gray overo horse with an unknown coat color ----G-Ov (ang assuming that coverao is supposed to be overo and not tobero). 50% chance of the Roan allele passing on to the foal, 50% chance of the gray allele passing on to the foal. 50% chance of the overo allele passing on to the foal. The blue roan parent will pass the black allele on at the agouti site but since the base color genetics of the gray parent is unknown a determination of which alleles for chestnut, black bay etc will be passed is a complete guess without information on the foal's grandparents and even great grand parents on the gray horse's side.
Gray horses with dark gray spots and hair changes color what are they called during this time?

What does the color roan look like and what are the primary base colors that create the make-up of the color roan?
The roan color is created when a bay, chestnut, or black horse has the roan gene, which works white and gray hairs into the coat so that only the head, lower legs, and the mane and tail show characteristics of the original color. A bay horse with the roan gene (called Bay Roan) will look a reddish-pink color except on his head and legs which will be brown and the mane and tail which will be black. A chestnut horse with the roan gene (called Strawberry Roan/Red Roan) will have more of an orangey reddish colored head, lower legs, mane, and tail, and the body will appear pink or strawberry colored. On a black horse with the roan gene (Blue Roan) the head, legs, mane, and tail will be black and the body will appear blue.
