I look for balance, agility, length and quickness. I also like to see a "quiet head" that works together with the rest of the movement...not bouncing up and down, kind of even, maybe a little low. No wasted action.
Of the current runners, Deep Impact has as close to a perfect stride as I've seen. Bernardini also has a beautiful way of going.
Do any other posters see current runners that have a nice stride?
Your input is appreciated.

along with a quiet head I want a quiet hind end--you know when they go down the backside and you can't see the legs....I want a nearly level top line without wasted up and down action in the hips...
I am biased but I love Henny Hughes' stride...efficient and effective.
