HIP 3
Name: Killer Hill (KY)
Barn name: Killer
Gender: Colt
Colour: Dark bay
Genotype: EE Aa
Height: Projected 16.2hh
Temperament: *****
Pedigree: Noonmark x Pomeroys Pistol (Pomeroy)
Dosage: 5.67
TrueNick: B
Inbreeding:
Mr. Prospector 5S x 5D
Northern Dancer 5S x 5D
Analysis: Noonmark is a rarity: a sound and tough son of Unbridled's Song. He started nineteen times in a career that spanned four seasons, and though never brilliant he was good enough to run with horses like Sharp Humor and Fabulous Strike. Killer Hill looks more like his damsire Pomeroy than Noonmark himself, though his balance and topline (especially at the croup) appear to have been improved by the Unbridled line. One might complain that he toes out a bit in front, or that he is slightly ewe-necked, but overall he's a well-built individual.
Probable Specialty: Dirt sprint (6-7f)
Behind the Name: Noonmark is a mountain in the Adirondacks, and Jesse Pomeroy was an underaged serial killer. If you've ever been hiking, you'll get it.
