Foolish Lad
16hh 14yo Bay Thoroughbred Stallion
Dirt: Good Turf: Great Distance: 9-12 Furlongs
FOOLISH LAD COMES FROM A QUIET, RATHER UNKNOWN FAMILY. HE HAS NO EXTRAORDINARY TRAITS FROM HIS PARENTS, BUT HE DOES HAVE SOME OF THEIR PERSONALITY. WE THINK HIS QUIETNESS AND WILLING TO PLEASE COMES FROM BOTH OF THEM, BUT PART OF HIS PERSONALITY WAS HIS OWN CREATION. THAT INTELLIGENCE NO DOUBT CAME FROM HIS DAM, BUT BURIED DEEP WITHIN IS A COMPETITIVE FIRE THAT, WHEN IGNITED, WILL TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM. HE HAS GORGEOUS, LEAN CONFORMATION AND BOASTS AMAZING DISTANCE RUNNING SKILLS, AND HIS INTELLECT AND WILLING TO PLEASE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL.
LADDY IS ONE OF THE MOST SENSIBLE STALLION'S AT HIGHGROVE. HE'S VERY OBEDIENT AND WILL GENERALLY DO WHAT HE'S ASKED TO, WITHIN REASON. HIS SERVILE NATURE DOES NOT MEAN HE IS NOT INTELLIGENT, HOWEVER. HE'S EXTREMELY SHARP-MINDED, AND CAN FIGURE ANY PROBLEM OUT. AS A YEARLING HE HAD THE OPTION OF GOING DOWN THE ROAD OF TRICKERY, BUT INSTEAD TOOK THE HIGHER LEVEL ROAD AND BECOME A MUCH LOVED FAVORITE AROUND THE STABLES BECAUSE OF HIS AMAZING ATTITUDE.
Leg Type: Closer
Because of his endurance horse characteristics, Laddy tends to stay off of the pace and enjoys closing from behind. He runs slow but quick enough to ensure that he can still sprint on lower energy to the winner's circle. Laddy has low sprint stamina, and this leads to some hairy finishes on the track. Sometimes he doesn't make his move until the stretch is beneath his hooves, but even then he puts logs on the flame and blazes ahead at amazingly quick speed after running for such a distance. Laddy can run for a very long time and still have enough left for sprinting, something that gives him a big advantage over his competitors.
