People complain a lot about the confo pics of Lane's End and Coolmore because they "hide" their feet. Personally, I think theirs are the best because the boys look more like they're in a natural environment (in their case, a pasture or paddock) instead of standing on sidewalk, being photoshopped to have no background, or be standing in a nonexistent background (Laccario). They appear to only remove the lead rope in these pictures.
The lack of feet doesn't matter to me because if someone is genuinely interested in sending a mare to that stallion, they can request photo/video of the stallion's feet, and more stud farms have videos showing the stud at walk or standing on pavement now anyway.

Yucatan is as beautiful as his bloodlines suggest he should be.
Isotherm is a looker, as well.

I like that Yucatan inherited his mother's blaze.

Carotaro is attractive but Isotherm seems straight-shouldered. But then, I was flamed for saying a horse was overweight, so who knows.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

And upright pasterns. To my eye, these two and Yucatan could use more leg. Like War of Will vs Silver State. I prefer the latter.
(There, they can flame me instead).

I like the top half of Caracaro but something seems a but off about his legs.
Cameras, lighting, and posing can be a deadly combination for perception though.
They needed to cut back on Isotherm's shine, IMO.

He's a beautiful horse, but my personal esthetics look forward to seeing his butt fill out a bit as he gets to mature stallion weight.
He doesn't look like such a skinny-butt boy when he's running.

Nice shoulder doesn't make up for being slow. He also looks like he needs a few more vertebrae to stretch him out. But hey, what do I know?

I feel like this photo is at an awkward angle-seems like his head appears bigger here than it actually is in other photos of him while he was racing.
That being said....he seems smaller and more compact than his brother. I really liked the leaner/lankier build on California Chrome
