I like his colour. He’s got a shark fin wither, which makes his neck look ewed, or whatever that word is. He’ll probably look better once filled out. He doesn’t have a great bootie.
I’ve seen worse. I kinda think he looks like someone’s hunter.

Dolphus is half to Rachel Alexandra.
Regardless, I'm not interested in any of these.
Not that it would effect his progeny but Dolphus has a droopy-doofus look.

Artie, Fiorente and Shocking all look well-fed, but Shocking is built like a linebacker.
I think he's gorgeous, and it's not like he appears to be FAT. But...that chest, shoulder and neck are like a massive heroic statue. His hindquarters remind me of Zenyatta's; Street Cry really passed some powerful engines on to his offspring.
I think I'm in love.

That's not a horse that's a bull.

Agree with the comment up there... wowzers Shocking's confo shot needs to be in the dictionary under the definition of "massive."

Shocking definitely fits his name... he didn't used to look like that

"...he didn't used to look like that"
I don't know. He may have put on a little more flesh, but in all those photos he still looks powerful, with that deep chest and shoulder and that thick, crested neck.
I'd ride that stallion into battle anytime.
