The Paperboy's
maternal
pedigree holds a number of
Thoroughbreds who have
proven to
be exceptionally strong influences in
speed-bred Quarter Horses -- Nasrullah, Mito and Cornish Prince, for
example. (From Cornish Prince, for instance, we get his son
Zevi TB, and Cornish Prince is
the dam's sire of Murrtheblurr
TB. Both these Thoroughbred sires have proven to be excellent
crosses on Quarter Horses and their daughters ar e exceptional,
influential broodmares.)
The
Paperboy is a very nice looking individual. He is tall and
very correct. He has good feet, good bone, a deep heart girth, a
powerful shoulder, and
very nice angles. He has a great hip and a kind eye. The Paperboy is
calm, confident, and awfully nice to handle -- he demonstrates lots
of intelligence. This
 colt, who seems to have a
lot of speed, has a nice, long, ground-eating stride.
This "Paperboy," a
beautiful, growthy gray Rare News son, looks like HE WILL DELIVER!
