The Most Beautiful Horse in The Derby......

Postby erhrdt3 » Thu May 12, 2011 3:35 pm

was Decisive Moment. GORGEOUS. Black, shiny, reminded me of how the late Great Swale looked, didn't run like him, but if there was a prize for how the horses look, this fella would win it.

Didn't get to see too much of him on the telecast, but something told me there HAD to be some relation to Devil His Due, so I looked it up, and DHD's grand dam and great grand dam, who was black, are in DM's pedigree. WOW, what a looker. Of course he is listed as dk/br. Why is there such a problem with the JC and labeling black horses black?

Anybody out there have any info. on this gorgeous horse? He seemed to get burned out in the derby or a bad trip, I don't know, that many horses is a lucky shot in the dark, that's for sure.

Anyone know anything more about him? Thanks! :D
We will NEVER see another Ruffian......
