A beautifully bred horse who was just below the top class as a racer, Equal Stripes was consistent and quite effective in the range of 1600 to 2000 meters (about 8 to 10 furlongs). As a stallion, he has proven first-rate, with three winners of the Gran Premio Nacional (ARG-G1, Argentine Derby) among his progeny.
