From the side he's a good looking horse but on the walking video from the front there is something funky about his right front foot. But they cover it up for half the time it is on! Anyone know why he didn't race? I'm thinking that foot might have something to do with it. From the sire stats in the Stallion Book (obviously not totally up to date) his sire might have been something special with 9% SWs but kind of low on winners and average on starters.

Anyway this guy might have made a nice hunter sire but not for $2,000 if his foot is offset and it is inheritable.

Any ideas if he will be useful or end up in East Poduck for $500?

He's the Dubai Millenium that sold at Keeneland for $1.6 million, which is weird because he was bought by Palides Investments, who are also the co-breeder of him.

He definitely has a bad right front. It turns out bad. I would assume that is what stopped him from racing. He's deformed.

So he was really about an $800,000 horse? LOL as if THAT would make a big difference to me!

Thanks for the info.on his foot. Hard to believe he would sell for that much with that foot! Makes ya wonder! But I guess being one of what 36 foals made the difference. Still they would have to know that a crooked foot is not likely to burn up the track. And for a crooked foot and unraced it seems $2,000 is pretty steep to me. :shock:

Too bad because the rest of him is sure pretty!
