Thoughts on Deputy Storm?

A nice typical type son of Forestry & out of a Canadian champion. He ran a 105 beyer here at Oaklawn in the King Cotton. He seems well worth a look for $3,500 in Maryland. Thoughts?

I saw him in person a few weeks ago. He is really a very nice looking individual who should get two year old speed if bred to the right mares.

I haven't seen him yet, but I'm planning to go to Northview's open house on the 11th. I'll post again with my impressions, for what they are worth!!

Saw Deputy Storm in the flesh yesterday . . . he is a dark bay, blazed face, four full stockings. Plenty of chrome! He is well balanced, nicely muscled, and stands about 15.2 1/2 - 15.3. He is pretty correct in front for a Storm Cat line horse. Short cannon bones, knees slightly offsett. He moves pretty straight. He has a good shoulder, and a strong, somewhat sloping hip in the tradition of Bold Ruler. Hind leg is straight.

Please . . . I am the original Cathy :lol:

I didn't notice the feet being shelly, but he did have a minor toe crack, and is shod with the shoe set back from the toe and clips, which is pretty routine for addressing the long toe/low heel syndrome so many racehorses develop. The crack appeared to me to be the result of hoof balance issues rather than weak feet.
