This colt’s dam Zhuravka, a daughter of the good sire Rubin, has already given two fast foals, Zhizneliub and coal black Zhasmin, a Bars Prize candidate prior to his purchase and departure for America, where he is much loved.  Zhitnyak’s swift sire Kriket lends luster to this promising colt.

The colt, very much a Moscow Stud Farm type, has light movement with a big ground-covering stride and rhythmic trot.  His body type is good and deep, with a well-muscled croup,  correctly angled pasturns, and clean legs.  This is a serious, intelligent and thoughtful colt, and he deserves a great owner who will appreciate and understand him.
