Dark Storm
Six-time grade I stakes winner - $2,500 stud fee

Bay stallion 1995
by Dark Shadows - Storm Queen, by Battle Front

In body, Dark Storm is gorgeous and looks every part the millionaire and gritty competitor he is. But this stallion has a shy and soulful expression in his huge eyes that wins over every person he meets. Dark Storm is curious and playful, but is also shy and withdrawn from everyone but his closest friends. And all of Dark Storm's friends are people-- he seems to almost consider himself human, too.

G.O.T. REPORT

This colt really can take off fast from the start.
Has about an average running speed.
Nice speed burst when you ask for it! A darn good sign.
Appears to have plenty left after workouts. Looks good to me.
Seems to run at his best most of the time during workouts.
Train this one for steeplechase immediately! Just loves the hurdles!
Seems to run like a sprinter, though I'm not completely sure.
Shows some interest in competition, which is good.
