If he's only slightly crooked and the leg column is correct (not bench kneed) I wouldn't worry about it. American Pharoah isn't perfectly straight either. A lot of good horses aren't perfectly straight.

I know of a very nice Firewater Flit son who has a pretty crooked front leg. He was a top rodeo horse for several years and is still a 1D horse. I believe he is 17 now and placed in the 1D last weekend at our district NBHA show. That leg doesn't slow him down one bit.
