Pollard's Vision was one of the calmest, nicest horses I've ever seen. At Saratoga the groom would tie him to a post and let him graze by himself, not typical of most high strung t-breds... He wore this contact lens type thing over his blind eye, a decent talent but ran with a ton of heart. Hard not to like.

His new foals look very nice too.

I don't know what type of runner he'll get, quite honestly I was surprised he's standing in Ky, but like I said before he's easy to root for.

And when he ran down the stretch he cocked his head to the side in a way that made Easy Goer squel in delight!
