Yeah, I agree...that is one of the top adjective that comes to mind when thinking about him and watching him....machine...he is one of the first horses that I can remember that doesn't appear to have any weaknesses (unless he isn't a fighter when or IF he is ever headed, which I doubt that he isn't a fighter because he is so classy)...
He is so light and agile for his size...amazing grace and athleticism....like a cross between a ballerina and an Olympic track star....his gate is a thing of beauty....probably as close to perfect as you could want...his stride is long and smooth and very, very efficient...he wastes no action or expends any energy that isn't productive to moving forward in a positive fashion....and he's so strong for a horse that seems like his feet never touch the ground or stay on the ground for very long.....he just floats over the track...I'd love to walk out on a track after he breezes to see how far he gets into the track....I bet that it isn't near as far into the track as the average racehorse....thus, he is also not very hard on his body....
Can you tell I love this horse?
Might be the most talented racehorse since Bid...just my opinion of course...
