Not the greatest conformation photos of some of the newer stallions, but there are some nice photos of them walking and/or playing:

And, of course, I am swooning over Flat Out.
Bullet Train has quite the "English" head.

Is Animal Kingdom that big, or is it just the picture?

Has he grown a lot? I always thought he was a bit smaller. He looks amazing.

Cree, I don't know if he has grown or not as the only time I've seen him up close in person was very recently. I measured him at 16.2+ right before Charlie Boden said he was 16.2 1/2. So that works for me.

Curious what you thought of him in person.

I loved him. He's a handsome, athletic, well made, horse with a lot of charisma. We're breeding a mare to him this year and I'm really excited about it.

Thanks for the replies. I always thought that also Acatenango was rather a tall horse.

LB: the very best of luck to your future foal!

Geez Take Charge Indy is a good sort. They turn them out well at Winstar.
