There is a photo of him at this link.
He was inbred to Trophy, in that a daughter of Trophy was bred to a grandson of Trophy. Trophy was bred at the US Gov't Farm in Vermont and sold to Pennsylvania where he had 143 registered get. By clicking on his name in the pedigree, one can see a photo of him by then clicking the photo icon. Breeders of today continue to value having Trophy in their pedigrees.
Among the many mares bred to Trophy, consistent stand-out results came from the Ruthven prefix mares. These mares, bred in Michigan, were sired by Lippitt Moro Ash, and often were out of Cornwallis daughters, as is the case here for Viking. On Viking's dam's side, the mare bred to Trophy was Brunk and Western Working Family.
Viking's sire, Superb Creation, was sired by Chasley Superman, another noted show horse and sire who was Gov't and Lippitt breeding. There is a photo of each of these on their page at the link above. (Any horse in a pedigree on the AllBreed site that has a red asterisk next to their name has a photo on their pedigree page.)
Legacy's Viking had a strong pedigree for both breeding and the show ring. He lived up to that pedigree. He has descendants today.
