Saw him at Claiborne a few years back. That knee had an enormous bump in the side of it (screws?). He was a laid-back sort of oldster who let us pet him and fuss over him. But if he was 15.3 like the stallion register says, I'll eat my hat. His dad Northern Dancer was advertised at the same height, probably thick shoes and a mat underneath when they measured. Why the prejudice against small horses, when some of the best are smallish?

You were too busy checking out that bump on his knee to notice his missing eye?
Danzig and " laid back " in the same sentence?????? Methinks you were shown the wrong horse.
