I agree also about judging show horses and race horses, it's actually harder in that show horses are being bred to be conformationally perfect, racehorses are bred for speed, anyone who has done rescue or has ex-racers can attest to how bad their conformation sometimes is, the judging there is completely different. I acually thought Seattle Slew was pretty unattractive, and Pleasnat Colony was downright hideous!

sunday silence wasn't much of a looker either....good thing he never looked in the mirror, might have hurt his self esteem.
i havne't seen a conformation shot of bernardini. just know that he seems to move very well, which is more important anyway isn't it?
i'd rather have an ugly winner than a pretty loser!
