💎 Why This Vekoma Colt Stands Out
This is the profile pinhookers want: a colt by a surging young sire, out of a mare with an active family, backed by a forward, athletic physical.
Conformation
This Canadian-bred March colt presents with real quality and upside.
He has a very nice topline, featuring long, well-set withers and a downhill topline typical for his age, which will level naturally as he grows. His hip angles are very good, and he carries a strong, straight hind leg with a well-developed gaskin— all excellent indicators of future power.
His heart girth is good, and he already shows clean muscle definition, with more to come as he develops. His long legs give him a scopey, attractive frame, and his body type — slightly more streamlined and efficient — is reminiscent of many elite Vekoma types.
His forelimb alignment is appropriate for a colt his age, with a mild, correct degree of youthful turnout in the knees and feet. Importantly, no deviation through the ankles or feet was observed at a walk.
Altogether, this colt has balance, athleticism, and a high-quality frame, with significant growth and strength still ahead of him.
Biomechanics
He possesses a light, athletic walk, stepping forward with ease and fluidity. His overstep is good, reflecting hind-end engagement, and his neck and shoulder use are particularly appealing — he reaches forward cleanly and maintains rhythm throughout the stride.
His movement is organized, forward, and efficient, the kind that tends to improve with strength and time. He moves like a colt who will shine with prep and present beautifully in a top book yearling auction.
🔥 Pedigree Spotlight
A March-born Canadian colt with pedigree, size, and tremendous commercial upside. By Vekoma, one of the hottest young sires in the world, and out of a mare already producing a nearly graded-quality 2-year-old, this colt combines powerful sire momentum with a dam line that is actively moving forward.
For pinhookers, this is the ideal combination: a colt by a mega-commercial young stallion with a dam family that could upgrade before sale day.
🏇 Sire Line: Vekoma — One of the Hottest Young Stallions in the Sport
Few young stallions in modern breeding have launched with the velocity and consistency of Vekoma.
⭐ Vekoma as a Racehorse — Pure Brilliance
Vekoma burst onto the scene as one of the most uniquely fast and stylish horses of his generation.
His racing style was unmistakable — a distinctive, rolling stride with a huge shoulder and a forward, powerful engine.
⭐ Vekoma as a Sire — 🔥Red-Hot Momentum
Vekoma is widely considered one of the hottest young stallions in North America, and Spendthrift pushes this heavily for a reason:
His early runners are showing the same speed + toughness that made him a star, and the stallion’s trajectory is toward becoming a top-level commercial and racetrack sire.
For a pinhooking program, there’s almost no stallion profile stronger than a wildly popular young sire with early racetrack results.

Oscar’s Encore — Live, Active, Improving Page
The mare’s 2-year-old, Oscar’s Encore, is an impressive young horse who just missed graded stakes placing.
Her connections believe she will be a graded stakes filly at three.
This is huge for commercial value:
This colt stands to benefit immediately if Oscar’s Encore earns graded credentials.
