If you have a chance, can you post a picture of Dot as a baby? I thought maybe Speed was a bay, but now her mane looks red. Maybe it will go back to black? Bay would be cool, I don't have a bay horse.
I'm sorry, I have no way to scan the pictures of her as a baby, and I have no pictures of her on our computer.

I just got out Dot's pictures again, and her legs were exactly like your foals. You can look at her picture on the whose who page and see that her black socks now go very high. So I'd say your foal is going to have black legs anyway.

Baby hair does strange things. Hope's baby hair went from black to dun with a flax looking mane and tail last summer until she shedded off, then she went into that Wildebeest-looking phase. Gosh, it was awful! She's finally looking half way decent, but she's still got flax looking tips on the ends of her mane and tail. I'll be glad when it all pulls out!
I forgot to tell, that looking at the pictures of Dot, her mane was not "black" as a baby, it looked sort of reddish, but you could tell it was going to be black. Her tail had a some light hairs on the underside too. She actually did not look bay at all as a baby.
