Remember this fella?

Yep, it's DD Gold Bullet, the palomino colt out of Vanity Fair, and sired by my boy, DD Bite The Bullet (you can view the boys' stats here .)
Here he is as a strapping 3-year-old (or so), at the beginning of his first season. He's depicted here being led back to the stables after winning his maiden race, strutting his stuff proudly.

As you can see, over the years, his coat has varied quite a bit. It has changed from the almost pinkish, pale beige color he bore as a foal to, now, a bold, rich and almost light chestnut-y gold hue, with nearly pure white mane and tail.
We'd also like to note that his gaits are so marvelously flawless; we're thinking of implementing him into a new bloodline of dressage Thoroughbreds (or crossed TBs), after he is retired from flat racing. When being led about, he strongly enjoys craning his neck, and jogging extravagantly at an extended trot

And, I know the shading's astonishingly crappy, but it was far worse yesterday (I touched it up again since then, lol.) I haven't been in a shading mood since I got back, so.. yeah. :/ I kind of just toyed around with it, and came up with this. Blah. I guess I've decided I'm just more of a sketching/linearting person. Coloring's not my forte, hehe.

EDIT: He's up for stud now that his racing campaign is over. As he is being let out to service the public, we are currently re-training him in Dressage, since he stopped racing at around 3-4 years old, and we can tell that although he has had enough of racing, he still has fire in his belly to show off to spectators!
So, we'll see how he performs, once he is done being re-oriented (we assume he'll start hitting the show rings at around 6-7 years old, at the low levels.)

Registered Name: DD Gold Bullet
Barn Name: Gold
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 01/12/2001
Breed: Thoroughbred
Bloodline: DD Bite The Bullet x Vanity Fair
Phenotype: Palomino. Left fore stocking, right fore sock, tall left hind stocking, and a crooked stripe ending at the chin. He has a few ermine spots, too. All hooves are beige/peach striped grey, except for the right hind, which is dark grey.
Eyes: Soft amber/dark gold
Genotype: ee/aa/Ccr
Height: 16.2hh
Build: Didn't take on his father's powerful type, but rather, more his dam's willowy elegance and finesse. He is maturing into a fine stallion with exceptional conformation and a strong, versatile body. He is very lithe, refined, light on his feet, almost dainty, and graceful in his body type and movement. Every waking moment of his is spent showing off, and as such, he's a ball of tight nerves and glistening muscles.
Breeder: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: Proud. He knows he's worth a substantial amount of money, and he is quite happy about that. He likes to show off, prance, dance about, frolic, tease others and play rough. When he was a foal, he was the roughest and toughest of our batch of colts, and he had been known to pick on others playfully. He's a nipper, brave, headstrong, bold and strong-willed. Also quite overly confident, almost to the point of being conceited.
History: Born at Double Dance Stables.
Discipline(s): Track (flat) racing
Ideal Distance/Turf/Running Position: 9f/dirt/frontrunner
Awards & Winnings: $3,098,250 with a record of 14: 9-1-3
Offspring:
bc Smoking Gun (smokey black filly, out of bc Pakari Pai , owned by ~fuangel29 );
Dorado (buckskin sabino colt, out of Veridical , owned by *Greatalmightyqueen ).
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored, pure TB mares only (please DevNote me to discuss otherwise.)
Availability: Currently available for private bookings.
