I think the big guy has earned his own thread. :wink:

I love that second photo where he's striding out. What a looker!

Thanks for sharing the pictures! What a beautiful boy, and that coat of his looks WET it's so shiny. In the first two pics, I think he really IS wet in the the head shot....

Yes - that first headshot was taken while he was getting a bath at Saratoga; I think it was probably around August 15th or thereabouts.

But you are absolutely correct, he does have a luxuriously shiny coat!! I had to go up to the barn late this afternoon, and while there I stopped to feed him a few mints. He's not a huge horse - he's not over 17 hands or anything, but he's an imposing specimen for sure. Just a big, strong, solid guy. I've always thought he was a really cool horse, so it's been great fun to watch him achieve this success. :smiley:

"Imposing" is the right term. What a beautiful fellow he is, and that coat is glorious. I'm so happy for the whole crew, Maggie, to have such a sensational dirt horse!

I really love the last portrait shot you did of him. The lighting is nice and it looks like hes staring straight at the camera. :azn:

Yeah he's gotta be my new darling as he's by my favorite racehorse, Afleet Alex. :azn:

It's a treat seeing pics of Bullsbay, so thanks for sharing.

Wish he had a pic at his pedigreequery site. I'm always disappointed when no pic is available.

Can't help you, but there are some folks here who know how to. Hope they see this and will add one of your pics.

He's one powerful-looking horse!
