• Maintained a more stationary pivot foot while providing more reach and extension from inside front and crossing more cleanly from the outside front. • Greater sharpness to his spins, turning more ideally over his haunches while maintaining a lower center of gravity • Fastest, flattest spinning who maintained a lower center of gravity while gaining more speed with each revolution. • Spun harder, pivoting more correctly over his hind foot • Cleaner crossover while remaining more even in his shoulders and more appropriately arched in his spin providing a higher degree of balance. • Showed more lateral control, crossing over flatter and faster up front and maintaining a more stationary pivot foot • Turned faster in his spins with his front end loose and low • He was faster and flatter in his spins as he reached around further up front and increased speed with each revolution • Was a more balanced spinner who maintained a lower center of gravity. • Had more speed to his revolution as well as more agility in crossing over. More controlled and agile in spinning, shifting weight more to her haunches making her forehand more maneuverable resulting in faster, cleaner spins.

Fault • Lacked impulsion in his spins being too backed off of the bridle.

Runs/Stops/Rollbacks • Showed less anticipation of stops and thus was freer from scotching • His stops were more stylish, being deeper and longer • Deeper, straighter slides • Drove out harder in the runs, stopped smoother and slid further • Showed more acceleration in the rundowns • Ran down with greater acceleration • Stopped squarer • Remained more mobile in front in his stops\more arched though his back in his stops • Freer on his forehand • Stopped deeper with his socks more underneath his body • Longer, deeper stops • Got more in the ground • Had more length to his stops • Ran harder form rollback to rollback • Cleaner crisper in both rollback • Was a higher quality stopper as he broke more correctly in his loin, consequently allowing his to drop his hocks deeper into the ground while having more lift to his shoulder and more mobility on his forehand. • Because he breaks more readily at the poll and loin his is able to drop his hocks deeper into the ground and remain more mobile on his forehand.
