I just found out that there is an attempt to bring back the Skewbald color back into standardbred racing in Australia. I know this may belong elsewhere, but I am asking this at a high level so I think it is okay.

How are skewbald standardbreds being accepted in Australia? Are there many skewbalds racing or are they more of a curiosity and nothing more. Do they basically compete amongst their own color group or do they race mostly against other standardbreds? Are they slower than your traditionally colored horses or do they hold their own somewhat against the regular colored standadrbred?

Thanks
