New Conformation Photos

Good-looking horse and a great pedigree (which might justify his $4.2 million purchase price), but...a lackluster racing record, to put it mildly. Still, he may be worth sending a mare to, because, you know...THAT PEDIGREE.

Looks like he had some filling in his fetlock area when that pic was taken.

Looks like bucked shins. He's cute. Nothing makes me go WOW though.

There are lots of horses in this thread that I don't see as strong stud prospects but who I would LOVE to slap a saddle on and take cruising around a cross country and stadium course. He is definitely one of them!

Informal pic of Real Solution:

He gives of a very European vibe in that pic, although I guess he was technically in Europe for a while when he started out.

Real Solution doesn't look very big at all, but is that guy handling him a giant? He has a nice body, nice shoulder and neck. His legs look a bit short, might be the angle of the photograph.

Yea it's the angle, the guy is clearly closer to the camera than Real Solution

I see a lot of Halo in this horse.

I still remember when Mr. Besilu was born, and my reaction to seeing his picture. Such a stunning foal. Too bad they cursed him with that name (sorry I couldn't resist).

I like that Real Solution, don't know much about him though. Do not like Mr. Besilu at all, awkward in every way, I don't care what the breeding is. Hero of Order is blah nothing special to me, big looking though.

I don't remember seeing anything of Paynter yet?

The same user has pics of Tapit, Distorted Humor, Medaglia D'Oro, More Than Ready, Holy Bull, Animal Kingdom & Malibu Moon in his timeline as well.

Paynter has a conformation pic on the WinStar website.

Honorable Dillon (Tapit-Shy Greeting, by Shy Tom) 1st year stallion at Rockridge Stud, NY

BaroqueAgain1 · Thu Jan 15, 2015 9:51 pm

He's pretty, in a rather curvaceous, Baroque, white charger sort of way. Has a large, round fanny on him...a Quarterhorse might be jealous of those muscles.

lurkey mclurker · Thu Jan 15, 2015 10:02 pm

Well he's quite lovely.

Izvestia · Fri Jan 16, 2015 5:53 am

He's pretty, in a sense. But I think his neck is really high and he's quite light-boned. How big is he?

RuffiantoRags · Fri Jan 16, 2015 7:18 am

Honorable Dillon is just 15.3, only just turned 5 so maybe he'll grow a bit more and reach 16 hands like his sire Tapit. He is a very correct horse. I don't like the position of his neck either, but that was the photographers choice.
