    Could you provide any more details Stick? Like pedigree, age, plans, etc.

    It's easier to offer an opinion if you have an idea about what you're expecting to see if that makes sense....

    He is a three year old by Oscar out of a Glacial Storm mare. Only recently broken but with one of the best bumper winner producing yards in the country and will be aimed at a juvenile bumper in November/December!

    At least it's a NH hunt horse. That's what I hoped when I first saw the pictures. Is it a bit top heavy? (but what the hell do I know!)

    how exciting.

    Looks like he needs a lot of work to fill out especially in his hind quarters, I know he is only a three year old just broken but is on the skinny side. But does have a bit of time! Looks like a nice sort though with a lot of potential to fill out! Hope there will be good ground for you! At the first look at his build he will not anything on the softer side but will be prbly be wrong!

    This is brilliant. Can only be at one of three yards if you're talking bumpers that aren't Nicky's horses.

    What are they expecting out of him Stick? First race horse? He's a nice looker.... could do with strengthening up a touch but that'll come soon enough I'd have thought.

    Cheers Quel, need to get down and see him before I commit totally and am concerned that his dam was no great shakes but the yard certainly know their horses and I am sure they would be looking to win very early in his career!

    No Ron, not seen him in the flesh myself yet. Just heard about him and had the trainer send me some photos. If or when I go to see him I will take some footage. I would appreciate any input and I know your daughter knows what she is looking at. Thanks.

    Oscar has certainly produced some good NH horses

    The dam is a bit of a relic. Groan. Sorry, I'll get my coat.

    He is about as good a NH sire as you can get Ron and Egypt Mill Prince is in the dams line!
    As I said earlier, my only doubt is that the dam was poor!

    I don't know who the dam is Stick. I was looking at the dam of Oscar; goes back to Relic.

    I don't suppose the dam could be Kates Charm or Gemini Lucy could it? That would be good.
