Gorella Retired

[ArlJim78]

I was in the paddock on million day and watched her and took pictures of her before and after her race. Its the first time I can say that I was just taken by a horse. She was so good looking and had quite a prescense about her.

Of course what she did on the track that day was brilliant and no one would forget it if you saw it.

Several months ago, we had a discussion about Gorella on another forum (I think you might post there?) and all of the guys said she was really pretty or like you, were 'taken' by her while most of the girls found lots of other horses much prettier...thought it was sorta interesting.

Well I'm generally not what you'd call a "pretty horsie person" so there very well may be many more prettier horses. I am not an authority on that for sure. To me they all look pretty good.

However, there was just something about the way she came prancing into the saddling area that day, she seemed full of herself and like she knew she was a star. She was an eye-catcher that's for sure and stood out from the rest of the group. i think I mentioned this before, but she seemed to have wide hooves and I read somewhere were someone suggested that is a good thing for turf horses.
