It's in a growth spurt, the hind end is higher than the front end, it will even out eventually.

I don't know, I thought it was kind of cute. Looks awfully awkward, but lets talk in 2 years when it's either running lights out or ???

Misremembered/Silverbulletday

Postby jagger » Fri Aug 23, 2013 6:06 am

I can't find him in the database here. I don't find ANY progeny under Misremembered and no foals o/o Silverbulletday since 2010. Just more database inadequacies?

judging a foal is very difficult with all these changes.I have pictures of terrible looking ones that turn out wonderful and pictures of pretty ones that turn out "shit should have sold that one"....You can judge at a few weeks by lines and then much later only...
The sport and industry survive not only because of the champions that are remembered forever but also because of the losers that are so easy to forget...

Being a little rump-high even as an adult isn't necessarily a fault as far as racing performance goes. According to Charles Hatton of the Daily Racing Form, Man o' War stood about 1-1/2 inches higher at the hips than the withers. Sure didn't slow him down any. But as others have said here already, being a bit high at the rump is pretty typical for youngsters at certain growth phases anyway.
