 I'd go with the one in my signature.

All joking aside, I would probably choose the yellow colt even though I'm not a Biankus fan.

This is the most confused replies I have ever seen on a thread ....
you are liking the sorrel with the palomino's pedigree and the palomino
with the sorrels pedigree .... because you are reading the palomino color on the
2010 pedigrees which are the full siblings of these two 2013 babies .. ..
and not going by how the OP listed them in her first post ...

TRY IT AGAIN ....
SORREL COLT PEDIGREE .. MARKED AS A SORREL

PALOMINO COLT PEDIGREE... MARKED AS A PALOMINO ..

OP: These will not show up on allbreed for 24 hours when they update
their database ... so when you name your babies ...
delete these two pedigrees ....

I agree with Margie- palomino colt is too straight in his shoulder for me. Sorrel is well balanced

The sorrel exudes confidence and looks like he will be more ratey  The palomino looks more like a free runner  to me.  Both are very nice, but on the pics alone, I would choose the sorrel.   Are you sure you didn't mix up the pedigrees?  The sorrel looks like the SE/FWF cross...

The yeller has a much cleaner neck that ties in nicer to the shoulder. As for the joints, my bigger jointed horses always seemed to hold up better than my smaller, more dainty jointed horses.

I may also be a little biased, as I've seen FDF run, and he's smokin fast in the turns. Absolutely amazing. He seems to be passing it on to his foals.

 They're both nice colts. The palamino would be my pick, he simply has more eye apeal to me. I love a nice clean neck & he has that where the sorrel is more course through his head & neck. I see him growing into a really flashy horse.

Agreeing with others that posted, I like the neck of the pally better, but that's about it. Although they are both nice, I would go with the sorrel. =]

I like the palomino best and I promise you it is not because of the color I don't necessarily like palominos.  I like the bigger stouter legs, think he will hold up better.  I don't see that his shoulders are too straight.  The sorrel is just too wide between the front legs for my taste and I think he will be a rough ride.

As far as papers I like the pal best only because I'm a DFC person and I had a direct daughter by Classic Dash years ago. 
As far as confirmation and such the sorrel..

I would go with the Palamino, he has a very kind eye, stout legs, looks like a runner. I'm not big on the shoulder but it would work out. The sorrel kind da has a roman nose type head and I don't like his eye set from the side,might be a squirelly kind of horse to break. the pali looks like he would take breaking easy.

I always buy color. My experience is color sells if things don't work out.

Really? Can you not just buy them both and then tell us later which one turned out better lol. I like them both a lot but I would honestly have to know the prices, and play with them for a minute before I would pick one. If they were both really good deals and I had to make a split decision I would probly go with the sorrel just because I am weird and never buy something just for color. The resale value might be slightly higher for the palamino but I would rather have a fast horse that nobody thinks is pretty lol. But I do like the palamino's big bones!
