1 Tremaro Million Dollar Baby – so much impact when you look at her, dripping in quality , stood she really is beautiful to my eye , her proportions are ideal and her head is gorgeous with good head planes and moulding to foreface, sweetest of expressions  ,excellent eye and ears, her front is what let her down today in the challenge, she still needs to form up in pasterns and tighten in elbows . side gait is excellent . a contender in the challenge.
