Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

some conformation shots worth mentioning:


#540 f. Authentic — Halo Dolly
no words for those front legs. just yikes.


#651 c. Into Mischief — Indy Punch
legsssssss... this one is a half to United, so i wouldn't be surprised if he sells well either way. or just sells well because you know, it's an Into Mischief.


#798 f. Improbable — Lophorina (GB)
nothing much, i just love the leg markings.


#872 c. Authentic — Minks Aprise
the quality of the photo doesn't help at all, but is this the pony-iest looking thoroughbred ever?


#1148 c. Into Mischief — Reina Maria
this colt isn't super pretty (typical IM legs, yucky hooves), but being a full brother to Maximus Mischief, he has to have vetted badly to end up as #1148, right?


#1253 c. Improbable — She's Not Here
this guy is THICK.

and that's it because i'm tired but i had seen these guys and wanted to share. if you guys find any others of note please put them below.

That Lophorina filly is a 1/2 to the blue-eyed Ronstadt who also has similar coloring

Fasig Tipton doesn't place sales horses by quality. They start with a letter of the alphabet (in this sale "Y") and then continue alphabetically from there. #1 is out of Yaddo Canary. The last horse in the sale (#1605) is out of Wynchwood. This yearling's dam's name, and its starting letter "R" determined his placement in the sale.

Some very very iffy legs and especially pasterns in this bunch of yearlings. This poor fella (#47 Nyquist-Amani (CHI)) looked even worse in the ring and went for $5k

#120 c. Preservationist — Bear It
the background of this photo make it looks like his RF hoof is not attached to the leg. and the legs look yucky anyways.

how bad does #506 look? her legs didn't seem the greatest in the ring but those are just... Into Mischief legs. second dam is Contrive, and y'all know where that leads. RNA'd for $170,000... sure the prices in this sale aren't high, but that's kinda shocking given her sire and female family. can't have vetted well, can she?

What about 542, American Pharoah/Golden Award colt (sold for $10k)?

Pasterns aren't great, but he doesn't look $10k bad. Not that he looks.....good.

#396 f. Bee Jersey — Drop Your Jersey
this one isn't pretty neither ugly but i got curious over her page because of both parents having "Jersey" in their names, but it's just (?) that her dam is a ½ to Jersey Town (sire of Bee Jersey) — Jersey Girl: 3S X 2D. and yeah, the dam is a Fipke (by Lemon Drop Kid).


#404 f. Oscar Performance — Effective
i struggle to see much wrong with this one to justify the $1,000 tag... the granddam is a ½ to Covfefe (and of course the female family is deeper than that), too. yeah, not the prettiest yearling, but that is LOW. hard to believe she vetted well.


#568 f. Cupid — Haileigh’s Comet
this is one of the longest pages i've ever seen and JESUS CHRIST THOSE FRONT LEGS.


#637 c. Country House — Idonowidont
is he considered a flaxen? also i thought this was a filly because of the almost invisible sheath.

PS: i used an image hosting website because you can only get the photos (not as attachments) from the FT website if you're using a computer and i'm too lazy to get mine. so here's to hoping they won't break all of sudden...

Those shadows covering his front pasterns are doing a lot of heavy lifting.
