When I saw him in January or February of his 3yo year in 98, he was a pretty easy going and friendly horse in his stall. That pesky horse in the next stall though, Silver Charm, he seemed like he really wanted people to pay attention to him. He was cool too.
Anyways, that one picture you have of him, he looked really muscular again, which was nice. He didn't look like your typical fifteen year old horse.

I never saw IC when he was running and in racing shape, but Uncle Mo seems to look alot like him, no? I like IC's size. Indian Blessing was similiar as well, though her hindquarters might have been bigger than his, but Baffert's horses always have big butts.
The horse that is really shocking how he has held up in age is Slew City Slew. I would have guessed him several years younger.
