The Thoroughbred breed has two lines that carry the creme gene. This gene can produce palomino, buckskin, smokey black, cremello and perlino. There are also sabino and overo genetics in Thoroughbreds that produce varying degrees of spotting including horses that are essentially white.
In Thoroughbreds the term "roan" refers to horses with the grey gene that have a non-black base coat color. For example: a chestnut foal with the grey gene would be reported as being a roan.
True roan color (horses with the Rn gene) do not exist in the United States with a report of one true roan Thoroughbred reported in New Zealand (Catch a Bird) who has offspring that are true roan.
This amounts to less than a dozen true roan Thoroughbreds in the world (this number may be higher as there is no current report found).
