Pedigree Query

I was wondering how everyone thinks he will do at stud? I was at the

track when he won the Joseph T. Grace Handicap, Cappuchino looked

impressive winning.

I got the chance to visit Empire while in NY about 5-6 weeks ago.
Cappuchino is a nice looking horse. I'm sure the Lamonca connections will handle him well in NY.

hi TBLADY

You wrote "Cappuchino is a nice looking horse."

Fair enough in general...

...but, respectfully...I suggest Cappuchino is a bit upright (maybe an understatement) and leggy...and his quarters leave something to be desired. Obviously he had a real pedigree...was a very nice racehorse...and seemed to have a real engine (his running style exposed that)...but I would expect that in the mare selection process...one might have to be quite careful.

I would guess that a neat...compact...strongly-made mare with good angles...a lot of body...bone...and a deep and very powerful set of quarters (and gaskin) might suit him well.

Respectfully

Cappuchino will do well. He has a lovely a$$... He is leggy, but I never really thought upright when I looked at him and I did daily. He had ton's of try and thoroughly enjoyed what he did. I hope he passed that love of the sport to his kids.

I do however agree that a strongly made mare might complement his physical traits.

I miss the old horse. I guess I have a bit of a soft spot for him. I am SOOO happy to hear he is looking well!

He looked great!I'm sure as with Wisemans Ferry, Capp will do well. I'll have to look on my camera to see if I still have pics of he and WF from our visit. I did manage a few of freud

Wonderful I hope you do have a shot of him!! I'd love to see how my old friend looks!
