He's quite small. I'd put him at 15.2 hands as a guess. Many of the City Zip's are small and he looks typical of his sire's babies.

Thanks for the reply.

He moves those little hooves.

His turnover rate is quite fantastic.
He may not take huge steps.
But he takes a hell of a lot of them.
In the stretch he just gets more strides in.
Its quite neat to watch.

By small, I mean short. He's close coupled and pretty proportionate. He's solid though, like CZ himself.

Yes he looks squished in.
Like a block.

A very interesting horse to watch though.

For his fans (like Sightseek).

Just thought this was sweet...

Like the Carter, he has caught another very modest field to say the least.
Looking forward to this race.

This field is way better than the Carter in relation to purse and grade.
