Are you serious? You don't like his conformation? I think that's his best quality...

His lack of speed I can understand.

His conformation is not condusive to producing what the market wants.

Fair enough...

I guess I'm not 100% in agreeance on what the market wants... can we say SPEED, SPEED and more SPEED?

Have you been around Giacomo a lot? What's his personality like? I'd love to see him up close. I know he's a "plodder" and the worst kentucky derby winner we've ever seen, but I like him.

He is a little light in the gaskin and forearm. Kind of built like a distance turf horse though there is not that much turf in his pedigree.

He moves like one too. Extremely high knee action... especially on the cushion track. Thanks for the insight. It's tough to get a read on horses without having actually seen them in person.

May get lost in the adena springs shuffle and end up regional stallion in a slots state like New Mexico eventually.

Maybe when Lemon's Forevor is 4, she takes that next step and becomes more talented.

You can compare her to Giacomo in the fact that they both won a race with the word "Kentucky" in it, and they're both deep closers, BUT! I wanna see what she can do at 4 before totally comparing her with Giacomo.

Because Giacomo at 4 was just like when he was at 3- Close from 20 lengths back to get 4th. Maybe Lemons Forevor can be better than that, and only time can tell.

BTW- I'll take Giacomo as a stud. He's got some Holy Bull in him. I think you could make some nice hard-knocking horses from him.
