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.

what do you think about pine island?? she keeps her head low for sure. deep impact is a heck of a horse, worth staying up til 2 am or so to see him run.
