Brave Smash is a good-looking stallion...and kudos to Aquis Farms for not Photoshopping out his lead line, which far too many farms feel the need to do. :roll:

It is interesting that he's their only stallion with a photo that hides his hooves :?

Oh man, there's a blast from the past. I had a little stuffed Tokai Teio that I got when I was in Japan at age 10. My dad won him for me in an arcade.

Santos is a beautiful horse.

Lovely!
Tokai Teio is one of our most beloved thoroughbreds all time. :D

And Brave Smash(JPN) is the first great-grandson of Sunday Silence to win a G1 outside of Japan!

Gainesway shared this one of Tapwrit recently. I assume this will be his official one posted eventually.

I don't love the way Tapwrit looks. Maybe it's the way his spots/dapples fall, but his shoulder muscles look weak.
AP, on the other hand, looks like he could be ready to go back into training with very little work. What a perfect TB. :D

Still a stunning horse. Looks every inch a Triple Crown winner.

He looks gorgeous! He was a nice-looking racehorse, but is even better as a mature stallion.
I hope more breeders give this grey son of Giant's Causeway a try. His daughter Significant Form winning the Ballston Spa should raise his profile.

I like him too. His grade I-winning son Pavel is still running, even if he hasn't done anything of note lately.

Here's Skitt Skizzle (Jet Master/Ice Floe -Northern Guest).

EDIT: I got his name a little wrong.

Not really liking the way Tapwrit looks in the pic either, but he could fill out nicely after a couple of years.

I do really like his coat though. Very pretty snowflake pattern!

Ye gods. I don’t know which is worse: the terrible Photoshopping or the awful posture.
