When you say "toes" what exactly do you mean?
the front, pointy portion of the hoof that is extending out from underneath the coronet band

Are the rear hooves both dealing with quarter cracks? :?
I really wish the best for Channel Cat, who blends the bloodlines of two of our finest turf sires.

Channel Cat is an interesting combination of his sire and broodmare sire. He's better looking than both, though.

But given where he's standing he's not got have a very good chance for people to say if he's a good sire or not

I agree about Calumet, but I don't think any other farm in KY would've been interested in standing him.

If they were serious quarter cracks, I’d imagine they would have patches on them. The near hind looks to just have a line/marking in the hoof. The far hind just looks a bit crumbly.

Australia looks as good as his pedigree.

St. Mark's Basilica still looks a bit pony-ish to me.

Good lord, what has happened to his back?!? Clearly they're trying to hide it in the shadows but my god what a massive dip he's taken behind the withers.
I don't remember him lookig like that in earlier photos

Honestly I'd take a St Mark's over Little Big Bear any day. Normally I'm not for the ponyish look but Little just seems ugly to me

Seems like photos of Scat Daddy show him with more of a dipped back as he aged, so it may be something running in the bloodline. The Seattle Slews were pretty notorious for developing dipped toplines as they aged, and that's passed down through the male line; Tapit's a great-grandson and shows it, though he isn't as coarse as a lot of the earlier Slews.

It's called Swayback. It's genetic I think. And it get worse as they age.

Standing at East Stud, Japan, he must be the busiest Holly Bull line stallion in the world right now.
