Anybody catch the Tapit-Baroness Thatcher colt? $50,000? Did anybody see what might be wrong with that one? I was just scrolling through the hips I missed and did a double take.

Can you actually tell if there is something wrong by just watching the feed?

I meant in person or from buzz really, but I've had negative reactions just from watching the feed. Of course, just because something's not aesthetically pleasing doesn't mean it will affect soundness. I assume you can at least get an idea of the type of colt that was. If he was pretty rough looking, or didn't look like a Tapit, for example.

If anybody does want to see a little more of some horses than just on the internet feed, some consigners have started putting walking/standing videos up. You can see some of the Book 1-2-3 horses here (click on the picture to play the video)
