Has anyone had the opportunity to preview Put It Back at Bridlewood Farm in Ocala? If so, what is he like from a conformational perspective -- especially as it pertains to his front-end.

I thought he was slightly base-narrow but otherwise attractive -- also noted that he had a very wide, powerful rear and and looked the part of a straight-up sprinter. Seemed to have a very sensible disposition from the little I saw of him.
I have heard from a Florida horseman I respect that he tends to throw youngsters that toe out and wing and base-narrow conformation could certainly contribute to that.

Hi Mahubah,
On the advice of a trainer my client bought a Put It Back filly at last year's OBS 2yo in training sale. He asked my opinion when she was being led out of the sales ring and I could only see her from the side and rear and she was lovely. She had worked :22.0 and seemed like a steal.
Later we went to the barn to see her again and I couldn't believe that anyone could have recommended her. She was back at the knee in one leg and severly offest in the other. When I felt the knees she had a rotated capsule as well.
She top bowed double donuts in both legs in training and never raced.
Regards,
Pete
