They definitely have an awesome hind end behind them!...bred to race or sell?

Breeding to race. And sell, if the money's right!! :wink:

I want you guys to take a look at the yearling filly and see if you see what I see. Look at the nostrils on her. Personally I don't think I've ever seen any bigger nostrils on a horse. I know she is mine but I try to be very critical and realistic and I can't believe the size of those nostrils. Big nostrils don't make a racehorse but if they can't breath they can't run fast!!!! She is out of a daughter of Nelson who is by Seattle Slew. Common breeding on the bottom but with what I see conformation wise I am going to have to give her an honest shot at running. JMO

I want to add, when she was 8 months old she jumped and cleared a 4 1/2 foot fence to get to some other yearlings. There were several witnesses that saw her do it!!! If she doesn't run I might try her h/j.

It's hard to see the nostril size from here, but big is better than small. That baby is a DOLL! :P

Those are good looking babies! Best of luck :D

Think that filly would want to be a steeplechaser?

Larrygene,

They look great. Did you get a chance to come down to LA lately? I spoke with Rob at EVD the other night, he said the Mustang Jock colts were looking good also. I need to make a pass by his place to take a look at the yearlings.
