If anyone here is or knows of anyone that was at OBS today and got a picture of the Stormello colt that sold for 300k I would be happy to pay for a copy of the pictures.
Thanks!:)

Thanks for the info you two :)
I am actually looking for a conformatn photo. I have his full brother (and his momma) and would just like to compare. In my head I know it won't mean anything, but still....I remember him as a weanling and would like to just see if my guy is developing like him. Anyone happen to know of if anyone took one? I know it is a long, looong shot, but I might as well try.

I pm'd you Sergio's cell number. He's the consignor (Blue River) and may know if someone came by to take photos.

i work for an equine vet we were there all day. i know the photo guy. i will ask him as soon as i see him again.

edited to add- if he was the high seller of the day, he will also have a conformation shot on the front of the wire to wire tomorrow morning.

Thanks maxxtrot!. Never would have thought to look there. :)

Good idea, Maxxtrot. A photographer we've used, Joe DiOrio, is usually out there as well. His website is www.winningimages.biz. Website has his contact info.

Unfortunately the caption reads:

Beautifully put together colt! Funny how the dam side is Red Ransom and the dam won $28K at the races and had 1 winner out of 3 foals. Almost identical to our Red Ransom mare's stats lol! I would be thrilled with a $300K sale of her baby. We've stopped breeding her and have her 2 year old filly at the training center now.

Here she is on her first day at the training center - she is very blocky:

Congratulations on the connection to that lovely colt!

[maxxtrot]

no problem, but for some reason the filly was one the front of the wire to wire :(. do contact joe as someone else said, also try serina hult(sp) and also there is another guy named t-bor.i will ask around as well for you.
