The Look of Eagles

"About the head of a truly great horse there is an air of freedom unconquerable. The eyes seem to look on heights beyond our gaze. It is the look of a spirit that can soar. It is not confined to horses, even in his pictures you can see it in the eyes of the Bonaparte. It is the birthright of eagles."
--John Taintor Foote

Summer Bird has it, for sure! Check out this photo of his paddock schooling session for the Jockey Club Gold Cup here Wednesday afternoon. And when the call to the post rang out for the third race, he was practically dancing with anticipation. (NYRA Photo)
You can watch a short video of the schooling session here:
