"Face of a angel arse like a washerwoman" new to me, but on the button: in fact, there's a story theme there.

Nothing as beautiful as a yearling or a woman!

Great con concept, but the camera angle did not allow viewers to see what the guy who was analyzing the bay colt's conformation was talking about. A shame, since videos like this can help prospective owners and racing fans alike to understand what a good thoroughbred should look like.

Good conformation points, but the guy said "No foot, No horse", so true. But he showing a filly there with 3 white feet. White feet are known for being more problematic than dark feet. I learned this saying long time ago- " One white foot- buy em, Two white feet- try em, Three white feet- look well about em, Four white feet- could do without em." That's old school, and so true amongst Thoroughbreds.

What happened to Smokinalisa? (The chestnut filly?)

[furrealjoyful]

I am fully aware that Big Red had 3 white feet, and of course there are many exceptional horses with white feet. I guess my comment came off the wrong way, what I was trying to get across is that the Thoroughbreds generally have crappy feet, thin hoof walls, etc. Ask any farrier if you had the option to purchase a TB with 4 black feet vs 4 white, the better choice would be the darker foot. Read the data, talk to many farriers, I know that it's not 100% true for all TB's, but it unfortunately it is the case for most.

Some horse doesn’t need to evaluate, just by looking to his physique, .... !!!!
