Which is the Best Looking Horse You've Seen (in the flesh)??

I know zilch about judging a horse based on its appearance but the horse that stands out for me is Secret Rites (Pat Lunn). He had an imposing presence about him.

Also remember going to Clairwood for the Mainstay/Schweppes (?) to back Olympic Duel but once I saw Flaming Rock in the ring I knew she had no chance with him and he duly obliged.

Lord knows there have been too many but Jet Master was everything a male horse should be and Over The Air had a presence like he just knew he was superior to the others.

IMPERIAL DESPATCH


Mike always had this one looking good and the horse itself was a real looker.

Pas de Quoi was massively impressive in person.
I thought Counter Action was a smashing, classic looking 3yo in a vintage year, as was National Emblem.
Badger Land was the stallion you would choose to ride into battle.
I don't think I have ever seen a horse look more ready than Yard Arm 30min before the Queen's plate, just 'magnificent'.
Dynasty looked like a horse who would win Gr 1's, everything in exactly the right place.
This is one of those questions where the longer you think about it, the longer the list will grow, but I think H.Brown had an absolute looker called mr hunk or something.

My best looker a horse called Swashbuckler son of Harry Hotspur that raced in Zim. Sitting with Tickey Carr he names Harry Hotspur the best looking horse he ever saw in the flesh. Garrick, Tickey says William Penn was the best horse he ever rode and not bad looking either.
