All for looks again. Off to the dog show Bozworth, quickly.
Smarty was not perfectly symmetric so he was a dud. Good lord.
Hello. Just cause a horse is small does not mean they dont mature in muscular stature. Come in Houston...
Man I bet Sea Biscuit would make you puke... No check that. Blood lines were too good, you gotta like him. Help.
This is about running, not about how big a horse is. Come in.

Sheesh. What's gotten into you?
No, he doesn't have to be big to be good. I am judging his ability on his performances and my ability to pick out horses that are going to stay at the same level and those that are going to improve. I have watched tons of horses mature and develop over the years. You are talking down to the wrong person if you think that I don't know a little bit about muscular development.
It doesn't mean that BD can't win a G1 out west here and there. It just means that he can't go with horses such as Bernardini, Sun King, Lava Man, and Invasor.
And for the record, Seabiscuit wasn't the prettiest horse, but I liked the way that he was built. He was all racehorse.
Also, I never said that Smarty was a dud. Smarty was awesome. I just said that he wasn't as good as Bernardini, and IMO, he isn't.
And I think that you were referring to someone else when you were talking about bloodlines. I'm a performance person, not a bloodline person, although I do like a good performance horse with a nice pedigree.
