silver train

Postby johnrr88 » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:34 pm

Has anyone gotten a good look at this fellow and/or his foals? Obviously he was a quality`MG1 winner. He seems to have a chance to break out this year but its hard to get a feeling for how good his book of mares has been thus far. I like what he brings to a pedigree with Ribot/Flower Bowl underneath but I need a stallion with some girth and good bone. Has he been passing these qualities along?

I saw him and like him. If I did not upload his picture I will do it when I'm on my other computer. I don't know that he has as much bone as some of the other stallions I saw but that line does throw good bone in general.

I dont know if you saw this filly sell at Barretts, but she's a cutie. A little less bone, but a nice filly none the less. She was the second highest priced yearling at the mixed sale in January.

not exactly a great comparison but if you are looking for height, here's Kodiak Kowboy who's picture I took about five feet to the right of where I took ST. KK is a bit smaller and has the longer Posse back.
