Horseracer...you need to chose based on your opinion, for what you need and how you feel about that horse. Yes, it is hard just with photos. This years horses have been overall, very easy for adopters; even the older boys.
Remember that they are not in a natural setting and putting all those guys together in a pen is going to cause issues when you have more than one dominant stallion in a small area. They have to adapt the best they can.
The younger boys were bunched up in a huge herd in one big area...right next to four pens of mare, so there was a lot of ruckus with them.
Getting a wild horse is hard because it all depends on how they handle domestication when they get home. Some of the most seemingly wild ones, calm down and do well; some never adapt. I've had both and there is no rhyme or reason.
Pick what you like, treat them fairly and kindly and then do you best.

I'd talk to Patti and find out exactly what it was on 1136.

gotkiger, I think the mare was probably low on the totem pole in the mare/foal pen. She was definitely most standoffish and stayed as far away from the people as she was able. Her foal was more outgoing. The mare was a bit long in the back,but that should make for a comfy riding horse. Other than that I observed no real big obvious faults with the mare. Once trust is gained i'm sure she'll be a fine horse.
Kigercat, got any pics of that pair??

When horses are stressed or in chronic pain; the neck in front of the wither gets pulled down and the sacrum depresses making the hindend appear dropped or sunken in - no nice round look to it.

I'm listing this as a point of reference so we have it. I copied this from the Kiger Facebook page and it was a list of all the horses at the adoption that had changed status:
1190 - released, 1194 - deceased, 1136 - crippled available later, 1148 - 6 years, 1163 - released, 1167 - 2 years, 1224 - male (this is the red dun that has since been released), 1238 - released, 1247 - chestnut, 4717 - released, 1876 - must stay in OR (No coggins yet) this was the 2 week colt foaled in the corrals...mother is 8246, 1133 - 2 years

Michelle, 1136 was my favorite online... I never even saw him in person at the corrals. I wonder what ever happened to him? He's not listed on the internet adoption now either...
