Me too, Bethani... I love the fact that he's got some depth to his chest and in pictures, it looks like he's got nice knees too. I've never seen him up close, though.

I haven't seen anything other than his page and the video from the farm...it's hard to tell for sure about anything regarding conformation unless you can get up close, the side shot is not enough, and the video on the computer is too grainy IMO. But I like him.
Also I say that with the idea that it would be something I was breeding to race, as the foal would have little to no commercial appeal/value.

Duckhorn comes from a deceptively good female family. His 8th dam is the bluehen Claiborne matron Risky. She's responsible for such stallions as Touch Gold and With Approval.

I'd love to see a nice With Approval or Touch Gold mare crossed back to Duckhorn... adding the classiest blood of the dam back to the stallion.

wasnt duckhorn owned by tabor? and trained by Patrick Byrne? I remember it winning something at Hawthorne and or Arlington P
