Hate it.
Why are some farms so addicted to Photoshopping their stallion photos? And this one makes Astern appear rather lumpy in places. Like, does he really have a divot out of the top of his right rear canon bone?

Interesting. BH’s online register shows a different picture of ‘Nose than the farm’s website (which I think is the best one, even if he is younger).

I thought he was a good-looking horse when he was racing, but he has matured into a really handsome stallion.

Airdrie has an ad for Upstart that pops up on Paulick Report quite often with his confo shot in it. He looks really good I think.

I'm far from an expert but his shoulder angle looks very nice. I've always understood that the shoulder governs the forearm stride (happy to be instructed).
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

You're right. He does have a nice shoulder. Rule of thumb: In your mind's eye, draw an imaginary line from the top of the withers straight down. If the line passes behind the elbow, the horse has a nicely angled shoulder. If it passes through or before the elbow, the horse has a straight shoulder. Using this method, compare Pounced's shoulder to Upstart's and it's easy to see who has the better shoulder.
Different topic: Astern's front pasterns look too sloped...appears like he is somewhat down in those pasterns.

Yeah. Gotta say I'm getting bored with the favorite winning every year.
At least they tried to bring him back at four, instead of retiring at three. Actually surprised Win$tar did that.
Great name he has, though. *Always* liked it.
