Aww, that sucks. Exchange Rate was one of those extremely special horses that was bred to the nines, sold for a lot as a yearling, was a successful racehorse, and a successful sire. RIP handsome.

He will be missed.

[RuffiantoRags]

well said Sparrow Castle. He will be missed.

Is it just me, or are all three of those boys (especially Wonder Acute, with his fun face white and little ears) particularly adorable?

I love the photos of stallions arriving for stud duty in Japan in a gentle snow shower.

They all have that "OK, where are the mares? We were told there are mares here. Let's see some action."

Some great father-son action at Lane's End with A.P. Indy watching his boy Honor Code.

In case you all are wondering who taught Pharoah the over-the-shoulder glamour pose, Giant's Causeway takes credit.

@coolmoreamerica's Munnings sired #EclipseAwards finalist I'm a Chatterbox, G2W Om in first crop

[Retrospectiv]

Liam's Map looks very immature, and like he's going through that awkward, loss of muscle let down phase

Giant's Causeway looking great for his age!

Pharoah is an excellent student:

Is it just me or does Liam's Map have super straight pasterns?

Is it just me or does Liam's Map have super straight pasterns?

I think it's hard to tell by looking at one non-professional photograph. Here's more from Twitter.

#BC15 Dirt Mile winner Liam's Map is one of four new stallions this year at @LanesEndFarms. #NewSires16


Joe has a lot of stallion pictures on his feed, including, because we can never get enough.

American Pharoah. 'Nuff said. #NewSires16

Re: the short, straight patterns of Liams Map. I think that is an Unbridled's Song thing. Himself and some of his offspring have shorter, straight pasterns.

Munnings has a pot-belly.

[mariasmon]

Munnings does very little for me in person. Dumpy little thing. Fortunately, he seems to be getting runners. I did not see Liam's Map or Honor Code out of their stalls, but I thought Mr Speaker was really nice and Tonalist has the roach back that many have observed.

[Izvestia]

Has he always had a roach back, or is this indicative of an injury? I read that this can indicate a stifle or hock problem.

[Diver52]

Liam's Map should fire his photographer(s).

I've heard he's had it since he was a yearling.

Paddy O'Prado, who did well with first runners for @spendthriftfarm. Beautiful topline. Reminds me of a sporthorse

[BaroqueAgain1]

Paddy' is looking a lot like his dad. IMO, every El Prado son I've ever seen is stunning.
