trivial, shallow, beauty-only contest

Lookin at Lucky. Hands down. Most gorgeous horse I've seen in years. From the bright bay to the long lean lines to the facial markings to the eyes.

Yours?

I'll choose the obvious, Zenyatta. She is a big gorgeous mare. Massive yet very feminine. She's the equine equivalent of the great Olympic track star, Florence Griffith Joyner..

Recently, Mucho Macho Man has caught my eye. He's a great big, handsome son of Macho Uno. Good chance we'll get to see him run in the Holy Bull at the end of the month. TJ

Of the Darley lineup I saw at the open house, their new horse, Midshipman, really impressed me.

I have to add Medaglia D'oro, and a German mare Kazzia (sp?) .

I've only seen photos from a friend but I gotta say, Darby Dan's new stud All American is quite the man - I'm trying to talk my hubby into getting a strawberry tat - so far he's not going for it!

And then of course, my personal favorites Slew's Night Moves and McTapit (Malibu Beach) :)
