SPD looks kinda quarter horse-y, but that's not a bad thing.

He looks very similar to the other PotN sons standing at stud where it matters most. He could probably use a better lay back of shoulder as it isn't as nice and he looks a little upright, but he's got that nice width to it that seems to tbe the PotN/Unbridled stamp.

Nice clean legs too. If I'm being nitpicky his pasterns are a little long and and in the back makes them look a tad upright. Overall looks like a horse you want to throw a saddle on, western or english and go for a ride.

His neck is....bleh. Maybe it will shape up with time and breeding mares.

I thought the same. Initially I was wondering if he was a little ewe-necked but looking at his crest I think it's just a lack of muscling.

He is standing under a tree as opposed to being in the full sun, like in his Ashford picture. If you look at google images of him racing, he is brighter in photos where he is in full sun but in the overcast photos he is darker.

I like how Stay Thirsty was shipped out to Cali, and then got Mind Control and Coal Front (he also has 2 G1 winners in Argentina).

This is a common phenomenon, it seems.

Both this one and Yoshida's look like they are still photoshopped onto the farm background

Stunning horse... definitely looks like he could be in a 19th Century oil painting. More or less typifies what I imagine in my mind when I think "thoroughbred", has that classic look about him. Nicely put together in general too.

Stay Thirsty has matured into a handsome hunk of a horse.

Hey guys, he's gotten a little older now so why don't we whip out our Canon and take a new confo shot of Airoforce?

Nah, let's just photoshop the crappy pic we took of him a couple years ago into a grassy background.

"Should we face him more towards the camera? or at least parallel?"

"no, this is perfect!"
