he's too big, just one of his 'knocks'....a horses legs aren't really any bigger when they are, so what they have has to carry that much more weight, causing unsoundness, and ankles like his.
another knock on rht is his sire hasn't had much success becoming a sire of sires. and that's putting it nicely. arch is one of his very few to do much of note. one is't enough.
9 of 10 stallions are failures at stud. not good odds at all. that's why i would buy fillies! they have residual value as broodmares. amazing what people are selling broodmares for--people are going to the track and claiming well bred, but slow mares, and selling them for many times what they paid for them...
