Liz O'Connell @nythoroughbred · on Twitter July 22, 2014 Since everyone loves the Shackleford photo in my post, here's my ode to Shack, 2012 ...A Good Horse Is a Good Color
A Good Horse Is a Good Color Liz O'Connell The Huffington Post Posted: 09/04/2012 There's a saying, "A good horse is never a bad color." Good race horses do come in all colors. Man o' War was Big Red, a chestnut. Native Dancer was the Grey Ghost. Currently, the magnificent Get Stormy is a mahogany bay with white markings. And then there is Shackleford. Shackleford is a chestnut with white markings. The reds of a chestnut can vary from bronze to terracotta to copper. Shack is a clear copper chestnut, with a broad white blaze that runs down his face and flares out to include his nostrils. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/liz-o/post_3826_b_1841551.html
I always like Shack. He, along with Mucho Macho Man, were such beautiful reliable runners, took on all comers and did their very, very best. Best of luck to them; long and happy lives.
From Darby Dan Farm facebook: A Shackleford weanling out of Spanish Post just become the new sales topper for $150,000 at the Saratoga Fall Sale @FasigTiptonCo! #shack
The photos are for sale at $50 each. Does the photographer get most of that, or is their a big cut that goes to an intermediary the way the written works of authors don't pay much to the actual authors?
i would imagine that the photographer gets atleast some of it, if not most of it. I would think she would be getting most of it lol its Barbara Livingston for crying out loud.
