Is European Champion 3yo Sprinter even a category? No sprinter trained in Europe won more than one G1 in 2018... and I believe him and Sands of Mali were the only 3 year olds to win an open G1 sprint. Biiiiiiit of a stretch there in the marketing department. I would say that he was tough as hell before calling him a 3 year old champion of any kind.

The only sprinter to win more than 2 G1s was Jungle Cat, and despite being trained in England, he won his G1s in Dubai and Australia.

I have a feeling they mean the Timeform rating

Maybe it's just me, and I'm no professional, but I like the casual shot better. :-p

Me too, but either way, he's a nice looking animal.

Maybe they were going for a 2010 Bieber kind of look.

Whispering Oaks needs their smudge tool taken away asap

I always thought Iron Fist was attractive, but I didn't realize what an Arabian look his head has. Very wedge, with a small muzzle.
Mean Season is pretty (and very shiny), but those front feet...

Long toes with very short heels.
IIRC, his racing career was cut short, and I wonder if his maybe-not-so-wonderful feet has something to do with that?

Wow....Honestly they used a black edit tool to just scratch out the lead and hope no one noticed. And what did they do to the horse's muzzle/mouth area???

CoronadosQuest · Mon Feb 11, 2019 2:36 am

Wow I hope they didn't pay someone for that edit job on their photos because yikes =S

Looks like what happens if a star gets a truly awful lip treatment.

Is IHA so badly over at the knee that they couldn't get a single photo of him standing straight?

lurkey mclurker · Mon Feb 11, 2019 11:22 pm

...and put him on a flat surface, for goshsakes.

Wasn't it IHA's left front that he buggered up when he retired?

Here's another photo for comparison. A candid one from TDN.

Wasn't he retired due to leg injury?
