New Conformation Photos

[Justify]

Arabian Lions front legs are....

Less then ideal

[BaroqueAgain1]

I had to doublecheck his pedigree, as he sure has Into Mischief's front legs. Not used to seeing such over-at-the-knee legs on a Justify.

I think some of it is positioning, but in the photo of Justify in the 2021 BH Stallion Register he's also over at the knee.

He did have a weird style of running to so maybe those front legs are the reason why. Be interesting to see a better confo photo

In his defence it looks like he is leaning forward a lot

Here's Arabian Lion as a 2yo

That one leg was over at the knee more than expected even back then. Definitely seems to have gotten worse with running and age.

Yea but big breeders don't care. His babies will still sell like hot cakes

To be fair, I've always understood that many horse people don't consider being slightly over at the knee to be a big deal. It's being back at the knee that is a major soundness red flag.

His legs look way better in the 2nd picture than most of the Into Mischief's that went through the yearling sales this year. The first picture of Arabian Lion at Spendthrift isn't a conformation shot so I can't judge it as so.

this isn't his official shot, but better than the original that was posted here. his legs don't look great, but as you mentioned, not nearly as bad as most Into Mischief yearlings (and Into Mischief himself) and look better here (or less worse... ) than in the original picture too.

but then again, if Arabian Lion isn't successful, he'll be off to a regional market where he won't breed more than 15 a year, so it will reduce the "spreading" on his part. though, if that even happens, it won't be before he has 600+ foals on the ground.

His legs aren't that bad, imo. Yeah he is a little over at the knee. I guess I probably think this because of the stallion conformation pictures I was used to when I first started following racing. Like Mr. Prospector and Danzig, who were both over at the knee. It certainly didn't hurt them at stud.

Is he club footed on his back left? Thought his darker hoof looked weird

Not sure if this will work copying address from my private FB post or not...... but I couldn't make the image small enough to add as an attachment here

Unofficial Arcangelo from Lane's End

I know it took them forever to find Rombauer a place at stud, but with his looks and his female family, I'd breed a mare to him. He has nice conformation.

He is beautiful! He definitely deserves a chance at stud.

I think Rombauer and Arcanagelo are both attractive horses.

Arcangelo could use more bone.

I agree. He’s not a substantial horse.
