Gun Runner is absolutely plain in every way, with some long legs. I would never look at that horse and think multiple G1 champion.
Classic Empire looks very... stiff. I do not like how he is put together. Dortmund is a nice looking horse. Mr Z's pasturns are scary, but the rest of him may look better as he fills out.

I agree that Gun Runner is much better looking (and a prettier runner) and even seeing them on TV compared to each other at BC Runner was a better-looking horse. Which is why I'm surprised he looked so ordinary in that picture and made my comment.

Just curious - did you ever see Gun Runner in person - up close and personal? If so, and you can still agree with what you wrote, well..... oh, never mind. There was nothing ordinary about his conformation photo.Charlie wrote:Gun Runner is absolutely plain in every way, with some long legs.

I haven't seen him in person, but I've been impressed with photos and video of Gun Runner. I'd also pick him over Arrogate - who I think is very typical of an Unbridled's Song... and for me, that's not a good thing.mariasmon wrote:I thought Gun Runner was tremendous in person.

Kobe's Back is a Pretty Pony, even if he seems a bit long in the back to my eye.
Bradster is nicely balanced, although he's so filled out he looks like he's been standing at stud for years.

Bradester is beautiful. I don't really care for Kobe's Back, although he is a lovely grey color.

You're right. Any more filled out and the QH mares will be checking him out.

Double ^. And why would that "official" photo have him standing on such an upward incline? I know it's an illusion, but that makes his hindquarters seem smaller than they really are.
He looks really good in the photo with the background. Not so much in the outlined one.
Photoshop should ban horse farms from using its product.

Maurice is a total stud. Bronwen Healy has a really stunning photo of him up on Facebook:

WOW WOW WOW WOW. I always think "stunning" can be overly applied to many things, especially online, but.
In this case, no other word applies more fittingly.
...yeah. WOW.
