Yeah its super weird. They posted that photo in 2019 and had a professional photographer do it because they gave him credit on their Facebook. You'd think if they had someone come out, they would have taken the time to shine him up before hand and not after with photoshop. ;)

Is it the angle, or does his back end not seem to 'belong' to his front?

He's leaning forward a bit and he is a gray, which can add to an illusion.

His back right leg looks bigger than the rest but I suspect that's because of the way he's standing. Other than that I think he looks pretty nice.

Lancaster Bomber - War Front X Sun Shower, by Indian Ridge

Image

Not going to lie, I totally forgot about this guy. In 2017 (as a three year old) he ran in 9 races, 8 were G1s, between Dubai, England, Ireland, Toronto, California, and Hong Kong. He finished that season winless but was 2nd in the BC Mile, Woodbine Mile, and St James' Palace Stakes. He finally got his G1 in the Tattersalls Gold Cup in May 2018, but that proved to be his last race.

Somehow, I don't remember Lancaster Bomber either. But yes, he is quite striking.

Here's a candid shot of Funtastic (More Than Ready). He's so pretty and smokey.

I may have just found the cutest stud ever. He is Verdi (Zabeel x Miss Opera, by Paris Opera) who stands at Long Acres in New Zealand.

Wow, he's stunning. Looks like a warmblood. Reminds me of Dubawi.

Verdi is jaw-dropping. I cannot find a fault on him, and such presence too.

I think he's very attractive, charismatic and I'd love to ruffle that forelock, but....he's a wee bit too high in the croup for me to deem him perfect, IMHO. ;)

Verdi is very cute. However, note that whichever side the picture is taken from, his tail is artfully placed to cover his hocks.
