Default Strides

I know that there are quite a few here that love to see how a good horse runs. To me, a lot of the story is in the strides.
I look for balance, agility, length and quickness. I also like to see a "quiet head" that works together with the rest of the movement...not bouncing up and down, kind of even, maybe a little low. No wasted action.
Of the current runners, Deep Impact has as close to a perfect stride as I've seen. Bernardini also has a beautiful way of going.
Do any other posters see current runners that have a nice stride?
Your input is appreciated.
