New Conformation Photos

Sidney's Candy is also surprisingly nice to me, in that "armored tank" sort of way.

Sidney's Candy's good looks have been widely noted since his racing career. Pletcher called him a statue.

I think I vaguely remember that, but I never really notice it myself (my loss!). I do remember liking how he seemed on the track, sort of a little rocket. But retirement at Winstar really suits him!

New pics for all of the WinStar stallions

Gemologist, Bellamy Road, and Tiznow are some handsome studs! Winstar looks like they take great care of their stallions.

I met Bellamy Road several years ago when he was at Hurricane Hall--he was the stallion they brought out for the tourists to see and even pose with. I thought at the time he was gorgeous and obviously pretty good-natured.

I can't even "nit pic" any of the Winstar pictures. Those stallions look fantastic! Hard to pick favorites, but for the young stallions I like Overanalyze and Street Hero.

With all the fabulous stallions in Japan, if I had a top class mare, I think I would ship her there, board her and breed her several years in a row to some of those gorgeous and talented stallions, and send the foals home as yearlings. That is if I had a mare who was worth the expense and of course had the cash to pay for the expense of shipping, boarding, breeding, etc. It's a veritable treasure trove of bloodstock.

All those Japanese horses are pretty and nice looking, but am I the only one who thinks they look like little ponies.?

[BaroqueAgain1]

I think that's because their heads look big for their bodies in some photos.
And Orfevre, as much as I loved him as a racehorse, DOES a honkin' big head. Didn't slow him down, obviously.

Anyone see a conformation shot of Mucho Macho Man yet?

I thought First Dude set the standard for big heads.

His head seriously looks magnified. Bless him, he is still handsome with his Dino head.

[serenassong]

He almost looks like a Standardbred with that slight Roman Nose- and I do like how he is put together, big ole head or not.

That picture of Novellist...the first thing I thought was "OMG he looks like a Shetland!". The angle looks very odd in that picture; like someone was on a step stool looking down on him or something.

[Insane Crazy]

His stupid head is far and away my favorite stupid head. Beyond that clunker, he's a really nice looking animal. I *love* Dude, and half of it comes down to that silly block of a face.
