Behind the Music
Grade I stakes winner of $1.4 million - Stud fee $2,000
Half-brother to TZEITEL (gr. III)

Dark bay stallion 2003
by Mint Condition - Star's Legacy, by Holy Smoke

He's not the most perfectly conformed horse on the planet, but Behind the Music knows how to move that body! This millionaire and seven-time stakes winner is everybody's best friend and loves companionship of any sort, beginning and ending with his pet goat Wilbur. Behind the Music was originally sidelined by a tendon problem after he broke his maiden at first asking in 2005, and he was retired 53 starts and over $1.4 million dollars later when the problem resurfaced after a long career in August 2008.

    G.O.T. REPORT

    This colt breaks so fast that the jockey'll get whiplash!
    Well, his natural speed is good. Should pass others with little effort.
    Wow, what a surge of power! This colt has the look of eagles!
    Still strong after a mile and more. Can't be certain, but looks durable.
    Seems to run at his best most of the time during workouts.
    This colt might show some improvement over jumps.
    Likes to get the lead early. A definite sprinter.
    Seems to run competitively enough. Can't be sure yet though.
