SECRET CHANCE
Ruler's Secret X Twista Luck "Chance" 2017 Sorrel Thoroughbred Colt standing 16 HH Buybacks to Isabelle |
Chance is as his name suggests, he takes after his mother in getting into trouble often, but getting a second chance all of the time and getting out of his predicaments. He's a bit feisty and hot headed, and can be hard at times to keep focused in training, simply because he has so much energy, he just wants to explode and run his heart out. The challenge will be to keep him rated back so he conserves his energy. Very exuberant, we're lucky so far he hasn't gotten himself into a scrape bad enough to get hurt, and he's teaching us about all the little things around the stables that aren't horse-proofed. As if a horse racing stable needed to be horse proofed! But thanks to Secret Chance, they do now. He's never too grouchy or mean, just very spunky and strong willed to run off and do whatever is on his own mind to do.
It's possible he's not the smartest cookie around, but his energy is infectious and he can turn around a rainy day from being gloomy to being fun. Our staff does enjoy working with him, even if he can bit of a handful, so long as they have good strong boots on so they don't accidentally get a broken toe when Chance prances around in his excitement to get going for the day. He does well with all sort of horses in the pastures and at the race tracks, he's not too much of a social creature by nature, but he doesn't have a problem with other horses either. He ignores or doesn't understand stud challenges, and he prefers to swish a tail and trot off than deal with anyone with a bad attitude. Being this boy has a lack of focus at times in his rush to run hard and fast, we're keeping him back from long router distances. Likewise we don't want the race too short, as a middle pack runner he needs a little bit of time to work up through the crowd to get to the win. |
Racing Info
Grade 5 Mid-Pack Running 7-10 Furlongs on Turf Prospect Record: 2-1-1-0 Race Record: 14-1-6-4 Workouts Angels Of Outcasts He'll be a turf runner, and we'll give this screw ball to Chloe, who although generally prefers prissy fillies, is broadening her horizons with this colt. Due to his duller mentality, he floats around a bit with his large body and doesn't take too much care where he puts his feet. The gate he doesn't appreciate, as it confines him, and he can sometimes break a bit to the side or awkwardly. After a few strides he gathers his feet however and wiggles himself into the middle of the crowd. It helps to keep some racers ahead of him so he rates better, but he hates being in the back. His mind always has the 'go' button on, so he's never at a loss for speed or the desire to run. If he could he'd run day and night-the difficult part of his training is getting that sweet spot where he understands that holding back a bit early on gives him more of that 'go' later on.
