Video on what to look for in a horse

[TheSpyder]

I'm sad to say I've been playing the horses for longer than most of you have been alive.

Yet, I still have little knowledge of what to look for in a horse. How Maggie can see a horse made for springs vs. distance and general form of how it looks, in a race, at a sale, etc.

Any videos or books out there?

Thanks!

You can scour YouTube for a whole host of videos on racehorse conformation; might be top heavy on yearlings & sales cuz they're probably promotional videos to get people into ownership.

Blood-Horse had a good series on VHS back in the day; maybe they are uploaded somewhere.

Here's a good starter video from probably one of the few who actually knows what they are talking about; covers most of the rudiments in just over a minute, even answers your question about sprinters v. routers:
