Here she is. Looks pretty nice to me, but I can't say I know exactly what to look for in a young horse.

She certainly has the look and the blood.
That's a lot of $$ for a weanling.
Can't wait to see her in a couple of years.

gosh, that filly's legs go on forever...she look's racy even at this young age. I like that they don't let em get as fat as a lot of the weanlings you see in the US, it's better fo them in the long run.

You've got that right. She already looks like a champion.

They paid $5 million for a weanling? A filly who can't be more than 6 months old?

Sheesh !!! There's an awful lot of money floating around these days.

I agree with this too....beleiev me, she'll have a lot of growing to do yet and a lot of changing will happen and there is no guarantee that she'll be as attreactive as a yearling or 2yo, etc.....as a matter of fact, it is probably likely she looks as good as she'll ever look relative to her age....

But she'll look a lot better once the braces come off.

Honestly, I've seen weanlings that looked better than that. JMO of course. The only things I really like about that filly is her neckline and hindquarters.

They are paying for her bloodlines. They are about as good as it gets as Sumitas indicated above.
