He's a nice looking horse, but I agree his back is a tad short. I think (in my eyes) what makes him look a little weird is that he has quite a long neck compared to his short back. And, he has such a powerful shoulder, but his hind end looks a bit smaller than I'd prefer. It could be the angle of the shot, would have to see him in person.

Call me crazy, but I think Dawn Approach is better looking than his sire.

You aren't crazy, he's a pretty good looking horse.

The guy holding WTC is very tall, so you know how huge the horse is to still look big with him on the shank.

Can't wait for him to put on a little weight and muscle up as a stallion -- I think he'll be really striking then.

Uncaptured is so cute. He's a bay version of his dad. Florida is a good spot for him.

I like the look of Justin Phillip, and Gio Ponti is a handsome horse IMO.

I just wish that whoever did that Gio Ponti picture hadn't gone nuts with the contrast/blacks/highlights in that image.

He looks like one of those oiled up Arabian stallions with how contrasty that image is!
Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on the horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!

His hind end looks WAY higher than his front, it makes him look weird. Of course it may be that his back dips alot... its like the front and back don't belong to the same horse.

I didn't find him that way in person at all. I don't think the photo flatters him.
