Was excited about seeing PalMal, as I am with all Curlins. He's a bit boring but nothing about him jumps out negatively to me. He looks...efficient.
Yes, great pics mariasmon!

At quick glance I'm a fan of Goldencents.

Oh my, how nice to see a gorgeous group of stud horses today. Thanks, mariasmon!
Havana has such a sweet look on his face. Too bad he couldn't build on his nice juvenile year.

Gotta thank Louise Reinagel. Looks like she took many of those. I dunno what she charges, but she's worth it.

Goldenscents is pretty. His head looks a tad small but he is welled balanced.Secret Circle looks like he belongs as someones show pony, he has such a cute face. Palace Malice is a lot like Curlin, well build but not gonna win a beauty contest.

For a horse that looked so nice on the track Will Take Charge sure looks unbalanced and awkward in that picture. He looks like a baby-faced quarter horse.

The color and/or style of some of the pictures reminds me of the old horse books I had.

He is really handsome...I can see where all those attractive colts and fillies he seems to throw get their looks. As a mature stallion, he has filled out, but doesn't seem to be developing any sag to his belly.

MDO is stunning.

I can not overstate how much I HATE outlined portraits of horses. :evil:
Does anyone think that his right hind foot is outlined accurately? Because that just looks so wrong. :shock:

Nice looking (does MdO sire anything that's not good-looking? :lol: ), but maybe a smidge short-coupled? And are those pinfire marks on his legs? :(

Otherwise than being a scar, I don't ever see the big deal about pinfires. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it shouldn't be something we point out as a knock against the horse. It's a fairly common procedure for fairly common problems, like splints and shins.
My OTTB has them on his splint bones and the damn horse ran 76 times and retired sound.

He looks very... compact. All the more impressive considering he has sired compact sprinter/milers like him that have won shorter G1 contests... but has also sired G1 winners at 12f too.
