Honor Code may be the new stallion I most want to succeed. I love that A.P. Indy over Storm Cat gives you Secretariat top and bottom. :D

I know he hasn't raced in months but I'm a little surprised they have a conformation shot of him already where he doesn't look racy.

If he's anything like most from the El Prado line, he probably puts on weight just by looking at food.

It does a good job at making him look big. He always seemed like a smaller horse when I saw him at the track.

I always thought he was small, but Dermot Weld described him as, "a big, heavy horse."

I wonder if his big comment has to do more with his bulk than his size. He wasn't tank-like wide, but he was wide than the average horse. I'd imagine next to some smaller European builds, he probably did look like a tank.

I can't find a height listed for him right now, so we'll go with that theory.

I love his shoulder and he has a wonderful build/nice proportions.
Shame about the legs and especially the knees. Was he always like this or maybe it's the stress of racing?

I'm guessing he's not quite done growing. :lol:

He isn't as ... quarter horse-looking as other War Fronts. I wonder if he'll get that looks more when he fills out/isn't a hand higher (exaggeration) at his butt.

I believe that he became the sire of the 2016 European champion horse, as his 3yo colt Almanzor(FR) dominated the Qipco Champion Stakes. :D :D :D

Bravo!!!

According to Charlie Fellowes Wootton Bassett just had 18 foals in his first crop. Pretty awesome to get a horse like Almanzor from that group.

Those front legs are a bit scary, yes.

Huh, I was going to add a photo of just retired War Front colt Mosler for comparison, but says the board attachment quota has been reached :(

Not a totally fair comparison, since Mosler is 5 and AFB is 3.
